What are the main lines of latitudes and longitudes?

Look at this clip to see that there are 5 main lines of latitudes and 2 main lines of longitudes. (One of the longitude lines is not mentioned..this is the International Date Line (found at 180 degrees either East or West of the Prime Meridian).

      - On land by pipeline
      - From North African ports to south European ports by cargo ships.

      - The earth is divided into several blocks called plates; both continental plates and oceanic plates.

      - When these plates move towards each other, they collide and cause an earthquake or form volcanoes.

      - Fossils of marine creatures are found high on the mountains because the land was still submerged beneath the sea and fossils of marine were deposited on this land which later was raised because of earthquakes to form mountains such as the Alps.

      - The last question is no longer in the syllabus!!
