  • Question
  • Which is the point from where an azimuth originates?


  • Options
  • A. South
  • B. North
  • C. East
  • D. West

  • Correct Answer
  • North 

    Explanation

    The azimuth originates at true North i.e, the azimuth originates from the north point. It is a measure of how far an object forms the observer's north point.

     

    Azimuth is a technical mapping term which is used to describe the direction of an angle between north and south on a compass circle through which the circle line passes. It is the most common military method to express direction. When using an azimuth, the point from which the azimuth originates is the center of an imaginary circle.
