👉 The term "northeastward" is a geographical term that refers to an area where the land or sea moves towards the east. It can also be used in terms of movement, especially when referring to the direction that something is moving towards, such as "the northeast".
For example:
- The northeastward movement of a ship towards the north causes it to move closer and closer to the coast.
- A person traveling from the northeast to the southwest may encounter more land than they would in the other
