What is the difference between quadrant and azimuthal notation?

An azimuth is the direction measured in degrees clockwise from north on an azimuth circle. An azimuth circle consists of 360 degrees. Ninety degrees corresponds to east, 180 degrees is south, 270 degrees is west, and 360 degrees and 0 degrees mark north. Quadrant bearings are written as a meridian, an angle, and a direction. For example, a bearing of N 25 W defines an angle 25 degrees west measured from north

You can follow a road 4 miles East then 5 miles North for a total of 9 miles. You want to know how far it would be to get to your friend's house if you walked across the field. By pythagoras's theorem you know the distance from your house to your friend's house is sqrt(4^2+5^2)=6 miles. So going across the field saves 3 miles. that's your answer please ask another question we know everything

How did Cyclone Tracy start?

Cyclones are perfectly normal weather phenomena, common in northern parts of Australia. Cyclone Tracy began as a depression in the Arafura Sea on 20 December 1974. It gradually moved in a southwesterly direction, whereupon it intensified. After that, it moved sharply in an east-southeasterly direction, then headed straight for Darwin. For details on how cyclones occur, see the related links.
