Answer:

Parallels of latitude are the circles which are parallels from the equator to the poles whereas the lines of reference running from the North Pole to the South Pole are called meridians of longitude. The meridian which passes through Greenwich is also known as Prime Meridian.

Features

The features of the meridian are

  • The features of the meridian areEvery meridian is semi-circulated and of the same length.
  • The features of the meridian areEvery meridian is semi-circulated and of the same length.When two opposing meridians are combined together, they would form a circle that is a referred to as great circle..
  • The features of the meridian areEvery meridian is semi-circulated and of the same length.When two opposing meridians are combined together, they would form a circle that is a referred to as great circle..Around 11 kms for 1 degree of longitude is the distance between any two meridians is maximum at the Equator.

Every meridian is semi-circulated and of the same length.

When two opposing meridians are combined together, they would form a circle that is a referred to as great circle..

Around 11 kms for 1 degree of longitude is the distance between any two meridians is maximum at the Equator.

features of parallel:
