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 type of coordinate system is represented by the vertical and horizontal lines on a map?
On a map that shows only a small part of the Earth's surface, the coordinate gridlooks like Cartesian " X and Y " coordinates. But as the map shows more and moreof the Earth, it starts to become apparent that the "lines" of latitude and longitudeactually represent polar coordinates on a sphere of constant radius.On a map that's sufficiently accurate, your first clue is this: Carefully measure thedistance between two of the 'vertical' lines, at the bottom of the map, and thenmeasure the distance between the same two lines at the top of the map. The twomeasurements are slightly different, because on a map of the full Earth, the 'vertical'lines all meet, at the north and south poles.
What are non vertical lines?
Non-vertical lines could be slanted or horizontal.
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
Longitude on a map?
That's the vertical lines.
What is Vertical lines on a map are also called?
Lines of Longitude or Meridians
Do you read horizontal lines on a map first or vertical when divided into squares?
Vertical first.
Does longitude line run vertical?
Yes. Longitude lines on a map are vertical and latitude lines are horizontal. But it could be the other way around too. It depends on how you hold your map.
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 the type of map uses horizontal and vertical lines to locate places?
grid,atlas
What is the difference between longiltude and latitude?
Longitude are the vertical lines found in a map or globe while latitude are the horizontal lines.
What is the set of horizontal and vertical on a map?
Those lines indicate latitude and longitude, a means of measurement.
What does the grid of vertical and horizontal lines on the map represent?
The grid of vertical and horizontal lines on a map represents latitude and longitude coordinates that help in locating specific points on the map using a system of geographic coordinates. These lines intersect at regular intervals to form a grid that aids in navigation, measuring distances, and determining exact locations on Earth's surface.
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 name identifys the vertical and horizantal lines?
gridlines
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.
