What are the imaginary lines called that circle the earth?
The equator and the lines of longitude.
What are the imaginary lines at right angles to a surface called?
normal lines or normals
The imaginary lines joining places of same height at equal intervals are called?
Contours..
What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
What do you call the imaginary horizontal lines on the globe?
Latitude
What are imaginary vertical lines called?
longitude lines?
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Why there is an imaginary lines on globe?
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
What are the imaginary lines called that circle the earth?
The equator and the lines of longitude.
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
What are the imaginary lines of force around magnet called?
The imaginary lines of force around a magnet are called magnetic field lines. These lines represent the direction in which a north magnetic pole will tend to move if placed in the field.
What are the imaginary lines at right angles to a surface called?
normal lines or normals
What is the imaginairy line around the earth called?
the equator ========= There are many imaginary lines around the Earth. In fact, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines. The two main types of imaginary lines are parallels of latitude (of which the Equator is one) and meridians of longitude.
Imaginary lines which circle the earth from east to west are lines of which are also called?
Imaginary lines that circle the earth from east to west are called lines of longitude, or meridians. These lines help define the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
Why longitude lines are also called median?
meridians are imaginary lines that are not parallel to each other.
What are the imaginary lines which divide the Earth into areas of 15 o called?
latitude lines I think
