Edward and his family are sightseeing. They walk two blocks north, four blocks west and two blocks south. All together they have walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of 8. 2+4+2=8

True.
subtract 1 from 2

Yes. A displacement is a vector. A vector is some sort of magnitude and a direction. Since 3 blocks is a magnitue(it is a distance) and east is a direction, the quantity is a vector, and therefore, a displacement. However, if you did not include a direction, the quantity is scalar, meaning it has magnitude, but no direction. Saying "Walk Three Blocks" could mean to walk three blocks in any direction. Not very useful. Hope this helps!

If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
True.
earth crust displacement
You finish 2 blocks east and 8 blocks south of your starting point.
move 6 blocks west
