Answer:
The vertical lines on the globe are more in number than the horizontal lines.
Explanation:
When describing a specific location using geographical terms, we use two terms, latitude and longitude.
Longitudes:
- The vertical lines on a globe are called longitudes.
- Longitude is a measurement that describes how far east or west is located from the prime meridian.
- It involves meridians, which are imaginary vertical lines that run across the globe.
- There are 360 meridians in total.
- The line of 0 degrees is called the Prime Meridian.
- The longitude of the town is 28° west.
Latitudes:
- The horizontal lines on a globe are called latitudes.
- Latitude is a measurement that describes how far north or south is located from the equator.
- It involves parallels, which are imaginary horizontal lines that run across the globe.
- There are 180 parallels in total.
- The line of 0 degrees is called the Equator.
- For example, the latitude of the island is 20° south.
There are 360 longitudes and 180 latitudes altogether. That is, the number of vertical lines is double the number of horizontal lines.
Therefore, the vertical lines on the globe are more in number than the horizontal lines.
