Answer 1

East :south east

South: south west

West: north west

North =north east

Answer 2

Answer:

As east and west are perpendicular to the north and south which can be found by looking at the sun.

Explanation:

• With east being counterclockwise from the north the direction will then be showing the eastwards i.e going through the equator 90 degrees and then turning right side of the equatorial direction to an angle of 270 degrees like the western side of earth.

• So in the north poles, all the directions will point to the south due to the magnetic effect of the pole and will lie in 360 degrees of angle. To the south pole with pole 180 degrees angle on GPS.

• Polaris star horizon appears to be more clear when approaching the northern hemisphere and diminishes on going farther away format the north. Thus north would be found in northeastern direction.
