The cardinal directions?

'north' is from Proto-Germanic *norð (of unknown origin); 'south' is from Proto-Germanic *sunð (possibly from Proto-Germanic *sunnon 'sun' + -ð); 'east' is from Proto-Germanic *austo- from Proto-Indo-European *aus- 'dawn'; 'west' is from Proto-Germanic *westaz from Proto-Indo-European *wes- 'evening'

Above the line, the directon is north\n\nBelow the line, the direction is south.\n\nI think.  From what i remember, you use the right-hand rule.  Imagine pointing your right thumb toward west.  Your four fingers, will indicate the direction of the magnetic field.

The way the stick points to is always North.  Aline your compass so that the "N" (or North) is pointing there, and you know where East, West and South is now.  Along with all the little things inbetween.  :)

get to the other side

Because on the little compass North actually faces up. And we refer to south as down and east/west as right/left.It's just because of the way they face. North is the up direction. Get it?

I've been studying this stuff recently, and I'm pretty sure this is how it goes:\n\nK is now (-2,1) and D is now (-3,-2).\n\nFor future reference on determining rotations, simply turn the graph counter-clockwise one time for 90 degrees, upside down for 180 degrees, and for 270 degrees, just turn the graph clockwise once to see what the new cooridnates are.

The compass is 360 degrees all around the circle.  315 would be northwest.  A wind out of 315 would be a wind out of the northwest, and would make a vane point in that direction, northwest.

Stabbing Westward????

Same direction as the Sun and the Moon, to the west.\n\n---Addition----\nChristina has a good point. If you were close to one of the poles, the stars would be just turning around and you could not tell if it is west or east direction.

I believe left to right but not 100% sure.

90deg clockwise\n\na face\n\nooooh

To check direction of the WIND ?

east/west.\n\nto remember, longitutde has lines that are all as "long" as each other (one pole to the other.)
