The equator is located halfway between the north pole and theprime meridian. 7. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. 8. The equator is at 180° latitude. 9. The south pole is at 90° south longitude.---'----- 10. One degree of latitude is equivalent to about 111 km on Earth's surface. 11. Each degree of latitude is divided into 360 minutes.--- -- 12. Lines of longitude are also called meridians.---'----- 13. The prime meridian is the reference line for latitude. 14. Points east of the prime meridian are located between 0° and 180°east longitude. 15. Lines of longitude are semicircles that extend from the north pole to the south pole. 16. Each degree of longitude corresponds to about 111 km at thenorth pole. _ 17. All meridians converge at the poles.Study Guide for Content Mastery?
