Based on your assessment of latitude and longitude, which of the following statements is true?

(A) Lines of longitude are parallel with one another, thus insuring that a degree of longitude is equidistant to all other degrees of longitude anywhere on the globe.

(B) All of Europe is classified as west latitude.

(C) New Zealand's longitudinal values are higher (more eastern) than Australia's.

(D) The Prime Meridian represents the 0° line of latitude.

(E) Lines of latitude converge with one another at the poles.

Option (C)

Explanation:

Latitudes are the lines oriented parallel to one another and range from 0° to 90° in both the hemisphere, where 0° latitude is the line of the equator. On the other hand, longitudes are the lines that run from the north pole to the south pole and are perpendicular to the latitudes. The 0° longitude is also known as the Prime Meridian.

The co-ordinate of Australia is 25.2744° S and 133.7751° E

The co-ordinate of New Zealand is 40.9006° S and 174.8860° E.

From the given options, the correct and true statement is that New Zealand's longitudinal values are higher than Australia's. This means that New Zealand is located further towards the east compared to Australia.

Thus, the correct statement is option (C).

(A) Lines of longitude are parallel with one another, thus ensuring that a degree of longitude is equidistant to all other degrees of longitude anywhere on the globe.

Explanation:

All the lines of the latitude are parallel to each other and thus they don't get close to each other and maintain a distance of equal increments and they run north to south and measure east to west direction. All lines pass directly towards the poles are also called as the meridians.
