Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?

Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.

Where do the latitude lines meet?
None of the latitudes meet together because they are parallel. The North Pole and South Pole do not have any latitudes or longitudes because all directions are south at the north pole and north at the south pole.
Why do longitudes meet at poles?
Because they all converge at either the North or South pole.
Do the longitudes intersect each other?
If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).
What is the point on Earth located at 90 degrees North latitude where the lines of longitude meet?
The South Pole is where the lines of longitude meet in the Southern Hemisphere. It happens at the North Pole as well.
Why longitude are not parallel?
Parallel lines never meet. On the other hand, every pair of longitudes meets at the Earth's North and South Poles.
Where do longitudes meet?
At the poles.
Longitude lines meet where?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
Longitude lines meet?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
Does lines of longitude ever meet?
Yes. All longitudes converge (meet) at the north and south poles.

Name 2 places on the globe were longitude meet?
ok easy its called the north of south poles(def/how: all those latitudes and longitudes of the globe[the lines that go up and down]are all straight but since the earth is round on a globe youl see then to curve and meet at once single point but theres two areas were they meet the north pole and south pole

What is the location of aisa where the lines of latitude and longitude meet?
You'll have to be more specific. Every latitude crosses all longitudes, and every longitude crosses all latitudes.
What is formed when longitudes and latitudes meet?
Longitudes and latitudes meet at every point on the planet. since both latitude and longitude are human ideas, not real objects, nothing is formed at those intersections. however, if you know which particular latitude and longitude meet at some specific point of interest, then you know the map coordinates of that place.A mathematician would say that any line of longitude and any line of latitude form a right angle where they meet.
