All longitudes converge at the north and south poles. To look at it another way,
the north pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude and every longitude.

Are lines of longitude parallel?
No. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north pole and at the south pole. If there's any other place where they're not all together, then they can't be parallel. Everywhere else except at the poles, they spread all the way around the Earth. So they're not parallel.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
Why are latitude lines considered paralles and longitude lines are not?
Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.
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.
Where do latitude lines all come together?
They don't. Lines of longitude come together at the North and south Poles.
Where do lines of longitude come together on Earth?
All of the meridians of longitude converge (come together) at the north and south poles.
Where do all the lines of longitude come together?
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
Are lines of longitude parallel?
No. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north pole and at the south pole. If there's any other place where they're not all together, then they can't be parallel. Everywhere else except at the poles, they spread all the way around the Earth. So they're not parallel.
Are the north-south globe lines always the same distance apart?
No, the north-south globe lines, known as longitude lines, are not always the same distance apart. The distance between longitude lines decreases as you move towards the poles. At the equator, longitude lines are farthest apart, while at the poles, they converge at a single point.
Where do the lines that run north to south come together at?
The lines that run north to south come together at the North and South Poles. The North Pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, while the South Pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude. These points represent the earth's axis of rotation.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
Do all meridians converge at the poles?
Yes, all lines of longitude (meridians) converge at the North and South Poles. At the equator, these lines are parallel and spread far apart, but as they move towards the poles, they gradually come together until they meet at a point.
Where is the south pole located at?
All possible lines of longitude come together at two points, called the north pole and the south pole. The south pole is located in the continent of Antarctica.
At what point of earth do all lines of longitude meet?
All lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
What is the name of the imaginary parallel lines that run in a north south direction?
You're fishing for "meridians of longitude", but they are not parallel. They all come together and merge in a single point at the north pole and the south pole.
Where do all longitude come together?
All longitudes converge at the north pole and the south pole, and every meridian of constant longitude is a line that joins those points.
