Northeast and southwest are two of the sixteen cardinal directions. These directions are used to generally navigate distances without the use of coordinates.

North, South, East, West are the Cardinal directions and Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, Southwest are the intermediate directions.Naming the principle and intermediate compass points is called Boxing the Compass.

Winds blowing from northeast to southwest are typically called northeasterly winds. They usually bring cooler air from the northeast direction towards the southwest, and they can have varying speeds and strengths depending on the weather systems in the region.
Cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) are the main directions on a compass rose, while ordinal directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest) are the intermediate directions located between the cardinal directions. Ordinal directions provide more specific information about direction compared to cardinal directions.
Yes, a compass rose typically shows the cardinal directions (north, east, south, west) as well as the intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, northwest) to provide a more detailed reference for navigation and orientation. It helps users interpret directions more accurately on a map or other navigational tool.
They consist of northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest.

The cardinal directions on the compass rose are North, South, East and West. The primary intermediate directions are those between two adjacent cardinal directions. They are Northeast, Southeast, Southwest, and Northwest. Directions between a cardinal direction and one of the four primary intermediate directions can also be named. For example, the direction between North and Northeast is North Northeast (as in "north of northeast"), and that between Northeast and East is East Northeast (as in "east of northeast").

The cardinal directions are North, South, East, and West. Intermediate directions are those that are in between the cardinal directions. Examples include Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, and Southeast.
They're called "ordinal directions": northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest.
