(01.01 MC) Geographers use a set of imaginary lines that circle the globe in east-west and north-south directions. What description best describes latitude or east-west lines?

The lines are perpendicular and pass through the north and the south poles.

The lines divide the globe into two halves called the western and eastern hemispheres.

The lines divide the globe into landmasses called the western and eastern hemisphere.

The lines are parallel and measure the distance north and south of the equator.
