âWe hoped to receive counsel from our uncle at Hyde,â added Ambrose. Perhaps it is hard to receive it in such a way, but I can have it. I forgive you, if you are sorry for the fault, and my arms are ready to receive you. All laws to secure these ends will receive my best efforts for their enforcement. On his return he addressed, by their request, the people gathered to receive him. In the hour of triumph the government was doomed to receive a stunning blow.
The vertical longitude lines are also known as meridians. They converge at the poles and are widest at the equator (about 69 miles or 111 km apart). Zero degrees longitude is located at Greenwich, England (0Â°). The degrees continue 180Â° east and 180Â° west where they meet and form the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean.
Unlike latitude lines, longitude lines are not parallel. Meridians meet at the poles and are widest apart at the equator. Zero degrees longitude (0Â°) is called the prime meridian. The degrees of longitude run 180Â° east and 180Â° west from the prime meridian.
