Lines of longitude run east to west and measure places expressed in degrees north or south of the equator. Lines of longitude run north to south and measure places expressed in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. Lines of longitude run north to south and measure places expressed in degrees east or west of the equator.

Longitude points west to east. So you can cross out C and D. I already know that the answer is A: " Lines of longitude run east to west and measure places expressed in degrees north or south of the Prime Meridian. " Since latitude points north to south and is expressed in degrees north or south of the equator. I hope this help! :)

Not really? C makes perfect sense. Read below: http://www.maptools.com/UsingLatLon/LatLon.html Somethings really important to read: The memory rhyme I use to help remember that lines of latitude denote north-south distance is: "Tropical latitudes improve my attitude" The memory rhyme I use to help remember that lines of longitude denote east-west distance is: "Lines of LONGitude are all just as LONG as one another."
