The "cardinal points" of a compass are north, south, east and west. In between these are the "semi-cardinal" points,, NE, NW, SE, and SW.

The angle between the direction your compass points and the direction you're facing is the 'magnetic azimuth'. The angle between the direction to the north pole and the direction you're facing is the 'true azimuth'. They are virtually never the same angle. The difference between them is the 'magnetic declination' or the 'compass declination' in the place where you are at in which.
When a small compass is placed in a magnetic field, the needle of the compass will align itself with the direction of the magnetic field. This is because the needle is magnetized and responds to the magnetic forces in the surrounding area.
The compass needle is magnetic so if you place a magnet near the compass, the needle will change direction either attracting or reppeling.
The compass rose was traditionally used on early maps to designate wind direction and intensity at different parts of the world. Replogle continues to place a compass rose on many globe maps for its beauty and information.
they were made so that on ships they could know which way they were going it was a big factor on the trip Columbus made if he wouldn't of had a compass he may have never discovered north America and you and me may of not been here right now
Get a magnet that's free to turn in any direction ... a boy-scout compass will do nicely.Place it in the magnetic field. It rotates to point in the direction of the field 'lines' atthat location. (I forget whether it's the north or south pole of the compass that pointsin the direction of the magnetic field, or opposite to it.)If you like, move your detector slowly, always following the direction in which it points,and you'll trace out a complete 'line' of the magnetic field.
I did it,but I forgot how. It has something to do with turning the statues that are in the wrong place a certain direction. Look in the journal, each picture has a name under it. On the opposite page, the names are written on the points of a compass. Look at the compass on the floor and turn each statue to face in the direction indicated in the journal.
Yes, the noun 'east' (as well as north, south, and west) is an abstract noun as a word for something that is known or understood, a word for a concept. A direction on a map or a compass has no physical form.
The compass you have is likely a vintage or antique navigational compass made by Keuffel & Esser Co. in New York. The ring around the compass is called a bezel, which is used for adjusting the direction. The key on the right side is a locking mechanism to hold the needle in place while not in use. This type of compass was commonly used by explorers, surveyors, and engineers for navigation and land surveying.
The direction is one word, northeast, a compass heading of 045° .The airline, and the region of the US, is capitalized Northeast.
