Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles


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.


In which direction does a parellel or line of latitude run?

Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.


North and south lines that intersect latitude lines on a map?

The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.


Lines running parallel to the equator are called?

You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.

Railway lines with sleepers? Lines of latitude crossed by a line of longitude?


What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?

Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
