The main difference is that the burnup chart starts on the bottom and rises as tasks are completed (opposite to the burndown chart). Another difference is that burnup charts usually have a line representing total work. [5] Similarly to burndown charts, the work can be measured in several ways, for instance, using time or story points.
The points at right angles to the North and South points are the East and West points. Going around the disk clockwise from the North point, one encounters in order the West point, the South point, and then the East point. This is opposite to the order on a terrestrial map because one is looking up instead of down.

[1] Individual tracks will have their own names, such as Up Main or Down Loop. Trains running towards London are normally referred to as ...
Also amphidrome and tidal node. A geographical location where there is little or no tide, i.e. where the tidal amplitude is zero or nearly zero because the height of sea level does not change appreciably over time (meaning there is no high tide or low tide), and around which a tidal crest circulates once per tidal period (approximately every 12 hours). Tidal amplitude increases, though not ...
