11. Imaginary lines parallel to the earth are called the latitude lines.
12. The prime meridian marks the beginning of longitude.
13. The longitude has 180 degrees in the north and south halves
14. A hemisphere can be divided north and south or east and west because the earth is round.
15. The equator is separating the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere
16. The meridian line is also called the longitude line.
17. A cartographer would work on a map.
18. Map projections are needed because they are a way to see the earth's surface without distortions so it's more accurate.
19.Terms that have to do with the geographic grid are hemisphere, equator, longitude, latitude, and prime meridian
