What term denotes the network of lines of latitude on a map?

• A. Fix
• B. Graticules
• C. Neatlines
• D. Aphylactic Projection

Answer: (B)

Graticule is the term for the network of lines that form the coordinate grid on a map, showing the lines of latitude and longitude. This grid lets you locate any point by its coordinates, with parallels running east-west to measure north or south of the equator and meridians running north-south to measure east or west of the prime meridian. The graticule is the reference framework that distinguishes latitude/longitude lines from the map boundary (neatline) or from navigational terms and projection names.
