Problem Analysis:
The task involves identifying and labeling the four main directions (north, south, east, west) based on the provided compass rose. The compass rose is a circular diagram that shows these directions using specific letters:
N for north,
E for east,
S for south, and
W for west.
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand the Compass Rose:
- The compass rose is a circular diagram with arrows or lines pointing in four primary directions.
- Each direction is labeled with a letter:
-
N: North
-
E: East
-
S: South
-
W: West
2.
Identify the Directions:
- The image shows a compass rose with the letters
N,
E,
S, and
W already placed at their respective positions.
- These letters correspond to the cardinal directions:
-
N points upward (toward the top of the page).
-
E points to the right.
-
S points downward (toward the bottom of the page).
-
W points to the left.
3.
Label the Directions:
- Based on the positions of the letters in the compass rose, we can fill in the names of the directions as follows:
- The direction labeled
N is "north."
- The direction labeled
E is "east."
- The direction labeled
S is "south."
- The direction labeled
W is "west."
Final Answer:
The names of the directions are:
-
N: north
-
E: east
-
S: south
-
W: west
Thus, the completed labels are:
$$
\boxed{\text{north, east, south, west}}
$$
