What do you meant by grid?

• On a map or a globe we can see that the parallels and meridians crisscross each other and form a network of “Grid “. We can locate any place on the surface of the Earth with the help of these lines.

• The point of intersection of the parallel and a meridian gives the exact location of a place.

• Both a and b

• None of these.

A set of imaginary horizontal lines drawn between the two poles and parallels to the equator is called:-

• Latitudes

• Longitudes.

A set of imaginary vertical lines drawn from the north pole to the South pole is called:-

• Latitudes

• Longitudes

_____is run in an east –west directions

• Latitudes

• Longitudes
