a. they converge (come together) at the equator.
b. they converge (come together) at the poles.
c. they are parallel.
d. they locate positions in north and south directions.

1. what is the latitude of the south pole?

a. 0° south c. 180° south
b. 360° south d. 90° south

1. what is the longitude of the prime meridian?

a. 90° east c. 360° south
b. 180° west d. 0°

Explanation:

1. Lines of longitude are semi - circles that converge at the poles. They are not parallel and they locate positions in east - west directions.
2. The South Pole is at 90° South latitude as latitude ranges from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles.
3. The Prime Meridian is defined as the line of 0° longitude, which serves as the reference for other longitudes.

Answer:

1. b. They converge (come together) at the poles.
2. d. 90° South
3. d. 0°
