Southeastwards

Southeastwards is a directional term indicating movement or position in a direction that is between south and east. It signifies a bearing approximately 135 degrees from north, or 45 degrees east of south, and 45 degrees south of east. This direction is commonly used in navigation, cartography, and everyday descriptions of location or travel. When referring to something as being southeastwards, it implies a progression or orientation towards that specific quadrant of the compass. For instance, a journey described as heading southeastwards would involve traveling in that general direction. Similarly, a geographical feature located southeastwards of a reference point is situated in that relative position. The term is often used to provide a general sense of direction without requiring precise angular measurement, making it a practical descriptor in various contexts.
