All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
Lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
longitude
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)

Yes. All longitudes converge (meet) at the north and south poles.
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.

The poles
They don't cross other latitude lines. They cross longitude lines.

Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.
