I am a network formed by parallels and meridian
Answers
Parallels:
The imaginary lines that run from east to west connecting all locations on a map are known as parallels or latitudes. The five major circles of latitude according to the order on a map from the North Pole to the South Pole are:
the Arctic Circle (66° 33′ 38″ N)
the Tropic of Cancer (23° 26′ 22″ N)
the Equator (0° N)
the Tropic of Capricorn (Sagittarius) (23° 26′ 22″ S)
the Antarctic Circle (66° 33′ 38″ S)4
These lines of latitude are located parallel to the Equator and never intersect. This is why they are also called parallels.
Meridians:
Meridians or longitudes are also imaginary lines on the Earth’s surface that run up and down from the two poles. These lines of longitude on a map all intersect with each other at the North Pole and the South Pole.
When referring to longitudes, there is a major principle one needs to know. Generally, as we know there are 360 degrees in a circle. The longitude that passes through Greenwich is known as the prime meridian and is allocated the position of 0° longitude. The longitudes of other locations are measured as the angle east or west from the Prime Meridian – +180° eastward and −180° westward.
Answer:
The network formed by parallels and meridian is called as Longitude and Latitude.
