DIRECTION The two points on the earth's surface where the axis emerges are called the 'NORTH POLE' and the 'SOUTH POLE.' Any line pointing along the Earth's surface towards the North Pole is said to be pointing 'north.' Any line pointing along the Earth's surface towards the South Pole is said to be pointing 'south.' 'East' is at right angles to north in a ...

Anatomy and Function of the Coronary Arteries The left main coronary artery supplies blood to the left side of the heart muscle (the left ventricle and left atrium). The left main coronary divides into branches: The left anterior descending artery, which branches off the left coronary artery and supplies blood to the front of the left side of the heart.The circumflex artery, which branches off the left coronary artery and encircles the heart muscle. This artery supplies blood to the outer side and back of the heart.oronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. Like all other tissues in the body, the heart muscle needs oxygen-rich blood to function, and oxygen-depleted blood must be carried away. The coronary arteries run along the outside of the heart and have small branches that dive into the heart muscle to bring it blood.

- Wind direction is reported by the direction from which it originates. For example, a northerly wind blows from the north to the south. Wind direction is usually reported in cardinal directions or in azimuth degrees. Wind direction is measured in degrees clockwise from due north and so a wind coming from the south has a wind direction of 180 degrees; one from the east is 90 degrees. Winds are described after the direction from which they come, followed by '-erly'.

General Astronomy/Print version The directions north, south, east, and west are based on the way the. planet rotates, or turns. Earth rotates around an imaginary line running. through its center called an The ends of the axis are. the north and south poles. Any location on the surface moves from west. to east as Earth turns.

- Earth's magnetic south pole is where the magnetic field lines are oriented vertically and come out of the surface of the Earth. The magnetic inclination is thus defined as -90 degrees. The magnetic pole varies in position on a yearly basis due to secular variation (drift in Earth's magnetic field).

Cardinal Directions and the Compass Rose Cardinal Directions are the most commonly used forms of direction. and include North, South, East and West. The four equal divisions - Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest - are called Primary InterCardinal directions. Additional subdivisions indicated on the compass rose, between the Cardinal and Primary InterCardinal directions are in fact called Secondary InterCardinal directions, but they are hardly ever used. Example: North-Northeast.

- Dino Trinh. Dear Dino, Meteorologists always define the wind direction as the direction the wind is coming from. If you stand so that the wind is blowing directly into your face, the direction you are facing names the wind. That's why north winds generally bring colder weather to Chicago, while south winds imply a warmup. For general purposes, the wind direction is reported to eight compass points, (i.e. N, NE, E).

- That’s because it’s located nearly at the north celestial pole, the point around which the entire northern sky turns. Polaris marks the way due north. As you face Polaris and stretch your arms sideways, your right hand points due east, and your left hand points due west. About-face of Polaris steers you due south.

- 1 The spheroidal shape of the earth makes degrees of latitude longer in the north than in the south. The true half-way point between pole and equator on Highway 41 is marked 710 feet north of Menominee.  On highway 141 see marker 3/4 mile north of Beaver.

GPS Latitude and Longitude Distance Calculator East is positive and West is negative. Latitude is designated as North and South but in 90 degree sectors. North is positive and South is Negative. It is possible to have a 3 digit degree designation for longitude but only a 2 digit designation for latitude.

- The North Pole is the most northern point on the earth's surface. The South Pole is the most southern point. No matter where you are standing on the earth's surface, north is toward the North Pole and south is toward the South Pole. East is the direction that the earth turns and is the direction of the sunrise.

magnetic pole Note: The north magnetic pole is not located exactly at the geographic North Pole. Therefore, depending on where a compass is, its needle may not point exactly north. Note: The variation between magnetic north and “true” north is usually shown on navigation maps as the “angle of declination.”.

How to Find True North Magnetic declinations vary from place to place, depending on the intensity of the Earth's magnetic fields. For instance, if you hold out a compass in New Zealand, magnetic north will be about 20 degrees east of true north, whereas the declination in Los Angeles is 12 degrees.

How to Use a Compass Place your compass on the map with the direction of travel arrow pointing toward the top of the map. Rotate the bezel so that N (north) is lined up with the direction of travel arrow. Slide the baseplate until one of its straight edges aligns with either the left or right edge of your map.

The North Pole: Location, Weather, Exploration â¦ and Santa The North Pole has inspired human imagination, scientific exploration and political conflict for decades. Where is the North Pole? The Geographic North Pole is the northernmost point on the planet, where Earth's axis intersects with its surface. Its latitude is 90 degrees north, and all longitudinal lines meet there. From there, every direction one turns is south. Because all longitudinal lines begin from it, the North Pole has no time zone.

Cardinal direction The four cardinal directions or cardinal points are the directions of north, east, south, and west, commonly denoted by their initials: N, E, S, W. East and west are at right angles to north and south, with east being in the clockwise direction of rotation from north and west being directly opposite east.

- Another way of saying that is that at the North magnetic pole, the north needle of your compass would want to point down; while at the South magnetic pole, the north end of the compass would point straight up. You should have noticed something odd in that explanation.

North References for Navigating with Map, Compass and GPS The True North Pole is the axis of the earth’s rotation. The North Star is used as a true north reference. It’s position in the sky causes it to appear almost stationary with the other stars rotating around it. Lines or meridians of longitude can also be used as true north reference lines.

- The direction North is often used to find out your position and which way you need to go. Honestly I'm okay with getting a bad rating on this one North was one of favorite Pokemon I ever used and I was able to transfer him up to Omega Ruby.

Compass Basics: An Introduction to Orientation and Navigation In areas to the left of the agonic line the magnetic compass needle points a certain number of degrees to the east of true north, and on the other side of the line the magnetic needle points a certain number of degrees to the west of true north (in other words the magnetic needle points toward the agonic line).

What does North by North-West mean? 'South by Southwest' would be the line between South and Southwest. This is the title of a movie by Alfred Hitchcock...directionally, north by northwest doesn't mean a thing. The title North by Northwest refers to a compass direction that does not exist (the correct term is North-northwest). North-northwest on a compass is at 337.50°. What these directions are called on the compass can be found in this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_the_compass.

find true north find true north. To find or proceed on the correct course or in the right direction. A reference to finding the position of the North Pole (e.g., by compass or by locating a pole star) so as to navigate properly. I would strongly advise that you seek professional legal counsel to find true north in your case against the state.
