Understanding the Concepts:
-
Lines of Latitude: These are imaginary horizontal lines that run
east to west around the Earth. They measure how far north or south a location is from the Equator.
- The
Equator is the main line of latitude at 0°, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
-
Lines of Longitude: These are imaginary vertical lines that run
north to south, from the North Pole to the South Pole.
- The
Prime Meridian is the main line of longitude at 0°, dividing the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

Now, let's evaluate each statement:
---
1. The Equator is a line of latitude.
✔ True
The Equator is the most important line of latitude, located at 0°. It runs horizontally around the middle of the Earth.
👉
Answer: True
---
2. The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude.
✔ True
The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude at 0°, running from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, England.
👉
Answer: True

3. Lines of latitude go from north to south.
✘ False
This is incorrect. Lines of latitude go
east to west (horizontally). Lines that go
north to south are
lines of longitude.
👉
Answer: False
