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

How you can relate Pythagoras theorem in real life?
Suppose you want to get from your house, located on the south-west corner of a field (rectangular shaped), to your friend's house, located in the north-east corner of the field. 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.

For details on how cyclones occur, see the related links.

What lines run north and south but are measured east and west of prime meridian?
Longitude lines run north ans south and latitude lines run west to east an easy way to remember is longitude has the word long in it ..so you know the those lines are vertical lines and that the latitude lines are the horizontal linesThe Prime Meridian is the line made out of all the points on earth that have zero longitude and every possible latitude.
Is the equator parallel or a meradian?
Lines of equal Latitude run parallel (ie never cross) East-West (such as the Equator) Lines of equal Longitude (Meridian) run North-South and cross at the Poles.

What is the measurement of distance north or south of the prime meridian?
Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. Longitude is the measurement of distance east or west of the prime meridian.
Is longitude north and south?
No, longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the prime meridian. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the equator.
