Question

What do you mean by ‘Direction’?

Short Note

Solution

Maps are drawn normally with north orientation. North direction in a map is always towards ‘ the North Pole of the earth. If you position yourself looking at the North Pole, on your right will be the east; your left will be the west; at your back will be the south. These four main directions are called the cardinal directions. Direction is usually indicated on a map by a North-South line, with the North direction represented by an arrowhead.
