:) Give a geographical reason for each of the following:
(i) Lines of longitude are called meridians of longitude.
(ii) Lines of longitude are of same length.
(iii) Diametrically opposite lines of longitude and the Equator are called Great circle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Longitudes are known as meridian because in Geographical sense, meridian are great circles which are not parallel to each other but intersect each other at the North and South Poles. Same stands true of the longitudes. All longitudes are great circles which meet at the poles.

Answer 2

Lines of longitude are called as meridians and runs form north to south direction they meaure the east to west distances and are equal in length.

Explanation:

• They are called as meridians as they tell us the position of the east and west from the prime meridian  

• Line of longitude is of the same length as they divided the great circles into both equal parts.

• As every longitude along with the opposite latitude makes a complete circle along with the earth and another big circle that is the equator, the lines of longitude that make the smaller circle around the north and south poles.
