What are the ways to find directions in nature?

The methods of identifying directions in nature are: 1. Use shadows to distinguish directions. 2. Distinguish by plants. 3. Distinguish by constellations. 4. Use the ant hole to distinguish. 5. Distinguish by houses and temples.

The shadow discrimination method is to observe the shadow of an object, the direction of the shadow of the object in the morning is west, the sun is due south at 12 o'clock, the shadow points to the north, and in the afternoon the sun is due west and the shadow points to the east.

The method of plant discrimination is to observe the density of the foliage of the plant, the dense foliage is south, and the sparse side is north. Or if there is a stump, the direction can be identified by the tree rings, because the tree rings are always wide on the south side and narrow on the north side.

The constellation resolution method is that the direction can be located at night through the constellation Ursa Major. The constellation Ursa Major is suitable for observation in spring and is the constellation of the famous Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is a spoon shape made up of seven stars with the handle pointing north.

The identification method of ant hole entrance is that the ant's hole entrance is generally facing south.

The distinguishing method of houses and temples is that houses: generally the door is open to the south, especially in the north of our country; Temples: Usually also open to the south, especially the main building in the temple complex.

Since ancient times, working people have summed up many ways to identify directions in practice: for example, the sun, the position of the sun at different times can determine the direction; The moon can also determine direction, in the same way as the sun. Most of the houses are south-facing.

Because the south side of the tree is often exposed to sunlight, the bark color is slightly different from the backside. There are also large objects such as stones, and the vegetation and flowers on the sunny and shady sides grow differently, the shady side grows tall but soft, and the shady side is generally covered with moss.

1. Annual rings.

When viewed from the stump, the denser end of the rings is the north, and the other way around. This is closely related to sunlight, and the sunny side grows faster, so the southern growth rings grow sparsely and loosely, while the northern side is dense and firm.

2. Moss. The south side of the ridge and soil slope is dry, and the grass grows luxuriantly; The north side is humid and mossy because there is little sunlight in the north.

3. Bamboo. The greenish side of the bamboo is facing south, and the greener side is facing north, and the tip of the bamboo is usually upside down to the south in the absence of wind.

5. The entrance of the ant's nest.

Ants love sunlight, and the entrance to the hole is generally opened to the south in a sunny place.

1. Polaris: The constellation Ursa Major consists of seven stars arranged in a spoon shape, and two stars at the end of the spoon extend forward, that is, the North Star, that is, the north.

2. Observe plants: the color of bamboo stems is greener to the south; The bamboo stems face north and are yellowish in color.

3. Shadow observation method: find a small wooden rod to stand on the watch**, rotate the watch angle, so that the small rod overlaps with the hour hand, and the middle equinox of the angle formed by the hour hand and several points is the north, and the other end is the south.

4. If there are a lot of rocks, find a rock, the side with a lot of moss is north, and the dry and bare side is south.

5. Take a tree as an example: the one with lush foliage is south, and the sparse side is north.

In the wild, the sunny side of the tree is the place where the trees are strong, the sunny side of the trunk is densely populated, that is, the east, and the direction can be discerned by the river flowing from west to east.

Wake up in the morning and face the sun, east in front and west in the back. Wake up in the morning and face the sun, east in front and west in the back. The left is white, and the right is south.

The second is to look at the reference, look at the second of the big tree, to look at the reference, look at the leaves of the big tree, the side with thick leaves is the side of the southern tree that absorbs the leaves is the second in the north, to look at the reference, look at the leaves of the big tree, the side with thick leaves is the side of the south that absorbs the leaves is the north.

The methods are as follows;

1. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the direction of the shadow of the object in the morning is west.

2. At twelve o'clock, the sun is due south and the shadow points to the north, and in the afternoon, the sun is due west and the shadow points to the east.

3. The direction in which the North Star is cultivated is due north.

4. The tree is the only example, the lush foliage is the south, and the sparse side is the north.

5. The ant's hole is facing south.
