north-south
Vertical on maps
North-south describes orientation or movement along the axis between the North and South Poles, as opposed to east-west: a north-south highway, the north-south flow of traffic.
The term also characterizes divisions or relationships between northern and southern regions: the north-south divide in British politics, north-south economic disparities.
