What are the lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of?
longitude
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
What is the term for lines that don't intersect?
Coplanar lines that don't intersect are parallel. Lines that are not parallel and do not intersect are skew lines.
Do parallel intersect?
no they are straight lines that never intersect, intersecting lines intersect.
Do skew lines always intersect?
Skew lines never intersect. If two lines intersect, then they are known as "intersecting lines", not skew lines.
What are the lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of?
longitude
Do lines of longitude cross lines of latitude?
They intersect, yes.
Which lines of latitude and longitude intersect in Illinois?
40n, 89w
Do lines of longitude intersect at only two points?
Yes.
How do you use longitude and latitude to find a location?
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
What is the longitude and and latitude of the tropic of cancer?
The two tropics are lines of latitude at 23°26′13.0″ North and South of the Equator and they intersect all lines of longitude.
What is the lines that run north and south on a globe and intersect the poles?
If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.
Where do longitude lines intersect?
All meridians of longitude meet and end at the north and south poles. Although they do converge, they can't be said to 'intersect', because they all stop there and don't go any further.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
How many lines of longitude does a line of latitude intersect?
Every line of longitude intersects with every line of latitude and vic-versa.
Lines of latitude and line of longitude are perpendicular?
So as to create a particular location on the grid where they intersect.
What are imaginary vertical lines found on maps are called?
Lines of longitude are imaginary vertical lines that represent the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich). Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole and at the poles all the lines of longitude intersect at a single point.
