Which of the following statements is correct regarding parallels of latitude? I. All parallels of latitude run East-West. II. Parallels of latitude are small circles on the earth's surface. III. They are measured from 0 degree to 180 degree.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding parallels of latitude? I. All parallels of latitude run East-West. II. Parallels of latitude are small circles on the earth's surface. III. They are measured from 0 degree to 180 degree. Correct Answer I and II

An imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator is known as a parallel of latitude. Important Points
  • The imaginary lines of parallels of latitude run East-West.
  • Parallels of latitudes are tiny circles on the surface of the globe.
  • They are measured from 0 degrees to 90 degrees both in the north and the south from the Equator. 
  • The characteristics of latitudes are it is located at an angle,  
  • it ranges from 0  at the equator to 90 degrees.
  • They provide south-north location preference
  • The lines of constant latitude run east-west as it circles parallel to the equator
  • They work precisely with longitude to figure out the  location of features on the surface of the earth

Additional Information

  •  They are not measured from 0 degrees to 180 degrees.

Hence, both statements I and II are correct regarding parallels of latitude.
