Question

Geographers draw two types of lines (or arc) on maps to indicate location. The lines (or arcs) drawn between the North and South Poles are known as ________. The circles drawn parallel to the Equator are known as ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Longitude and Latitude

Explanation:

Latitudes and longitudes are two types of imaginary lines that are commonly used by the geographers to determine the geographic location of an area. It gives the exact coordinates (location) on the earth's surface.

The lines of Longitude are usually referred to as the arc lines that are connected from the north pole to the south pole. And on the other hand, the lines of latitudes are defined as those lines that are oriented parallel to the equator running from the east to the west direction. Both the lines of latitudes and longitudes are perpendicular to each other. These are commonly shown on the map with definite numbers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Meridian and Parallels

Explanation:

• As the geographers draw the two pairs of the lines that on the map indicates a location that is measured by the latitudinal and the longitudinal extents on the globe and they forms the meridians as the lines of the latitudes as the imaginary circle and get terminated at the north and the south poles.

• These lines called as the parallels and they run along the greater circles and are parallel to the equator area.
