What states does the greenwich meridian go through?
The Prime Meridian traverses several countries in Europe and Africa, as well as the Antarctic continent. If the question refers to 'states' of the USA, then the Prime Meridian doesn't touch any of them.
Which continents touch the 70 degree west line of longitude?
The 60th meridian west traverses the following: Greenland Canada Barbados (territorial waters) Guyana Brazil Paraguay Argentina Falkland Islands Antarctica
Which reference line passes through both the geograhic North Pole and the geographic South Pole?
-- Parallels of latitude don't ever touch the poles. -- Technically, meridians of longitude touch the poles but don't pass through them, because the north and south poles are the two ends of each meridian. So they all meet at the poles, but don't pass through.
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Does the prime meridian touch the north pole or south pole?
both
Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
What countries in europe touch 0 degrees longitude?
The Prime Meridian (zero degrees longitude) crosses England, France, and Spain.

What line measures distance east and west of prime meridian on a globe or map?
The lines of longitude measure degrees east and west of the prime meridian, but they don't directly measure distance. The lines of longitude all converge at both poles, and are farthest apart from one another at the equator. This is unlike the lines of latitude no two of which ever touch because they are circles that are parallel to one another with their centers located on the earth's axis. You can calculate distance between degrees of longitude, but you need to know the degrees latitude in order to do that.

Does the prime Meridian touch the North Pole or the South pole?
