What is the type of cylindrical map projection that is commonly used and shows straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles?

It is the Mercator.

What directions do meridians run?

Meridians join the Poles of the Earth and intersect the equator at right angles, thus the direction is North/South.


What do lines of latitude and longitude form when they intersect?

Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude.That is, they intersect at right angles.And here's a fascinating trivia factoid that you can use to amuse and amazeyour friends:-- No matter how many of these intersections you think there are,there are more than that.-- There are an infinite number of meridians of longitude, and every oneof them intersects an infinite number of parallels of latitude.


Lines of latitude are also called what?

Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.


What are the characteristics of a world globe?

1) all meridians are of equal length; each is one-half the length of the equator 2) All meridians converge at the poles and are true north-south lines 3) all lines of latitude (parallels) are parallel to the equator and to each other 4) parallels decrease in length as one nears the poles 5) meridians and parallels intersect at right angles


What type of projection is a mercator world map and what sets it apart from other projections?

The Mercator projection has straight meridians and parallels that intersect at right angles. Scale is true at the equator or at two standard parallels equidistant from the equator. The projection is often used for marine navigation because all straight lines on the map are lines of constant azimuth.


What is a mercator projecter?

A cylindrical map projection in which the meridians and parallels of latitude appear as lines crossing at right angles and in which areas appear greater farther from the equator.conic


On what map projection do both meridians and parallels appear as straight lines intersecting each other at right angles?

Cylindrical


What are lines that intersect right angles called?

Lines that intersect right angles (ninety-degree angles) are described as perpendicular.


Lines that intersect to form right angles are called?

Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles


What is the if-then form for perpendicular lines intersect at right angles?

If two lines intersect at right angles then they are perpendicular!
