What are horizontal lines on a map technically called?
utx
What do you call the horizontal lines on the map called?
latitude. I remember by Lat is Flat =P
Horizontal lines on a map of the earth is called?
Latitude. It may be helpful to think of a ladder when trying to remember this, as Ladder sounds similar to latitude, and ladders have many horizontal bars.
Do you read horizontal lines on a map first or vertical when divided into squares?
Vertical first.
What do longitude lines cover that latitude lines don't?
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.

What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.

What is parallel or lines of latitude location?
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
What are the imaginary lines called on a map that divide the world?
The line on the map is called the ratocoal.
Why does the horizontal scale of a Mercator projection increase with latitude?
In the Mercator projection, the horizontal scale increases with latitude to preserve angles and maintain straight lines for navigation purposes. This distortion in scale towards the poles helps with navigation by allowing lines of constant bearing (rhumb lines) to appear as straight lines on the map.
What connects points of equal elevation on a topographic map?
Contour lines or also known as isohypses, connect points of equal elevation on a map. Contour lines can be curved, straight or a mixture of both. The lines on a map describe the intersection of a real or hypothetical surface with one or more horizontal planes.
What do lines of latitude and longitude mean?
On a map, longitude lines go up and down, AKA vertically. Latitude lines are horizontal lines on a map.
Horizontal lines on a map of the earth is called?
Latitude. It may be helpful to think of a ladder when trying to remember this, as Ladder sounds similar to latitude, and ladders have many horizontal bars.
Are latitude lines vertical or horizontal?
Latitude lines are horizontal lines that run parallel to the equator on a map. They measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
What is the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the north pole?
"Meridians" are the [straight] lines of Latitude (vertical, North-South lines) on a map, and Longitudes are the circular lines (horizontal, East-West) going around the world. So there can not be "Meridians of Longitude" that converge at a poll.
What are synonyms of latitude lines?
Flat, they run straight across, horizontal!Those words came to my mind!============================Only if you hold your map with north either up or down.Regardless of how you hold your map, lines of latitude are parallelto each other, and are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
