1. EAPS 10000 Homework 2 Information: Measuring directions with “points of a compass” and azimuth.
Compass direction: N NNE NE ENE E ESE SE SSE S SSW SW WSW W WNW NW NNW
Equivalent Azimuth: 0  45  90  135 157.5 180  225  270  315 
Azimuth (similar to compass directions) is the angle in degrees measured clockwise from North (0 or 360 degrees). For example, for the direction shown (bold arrow; and the angle shown by the dashed lines), the azimuth is 135o and the compass direction is SE.
