Direct observations are things you see directly. For instance, if there are 10 ants walking on a table, and you count the ten ants, you can say that you have directly observed 10 ants.
here is a indirect observation so you know also
<span>Indirect observations are ones which you do not see directly but infer from another observation. A good example is animal tracks. You may see, for instance, paw tracks in the sand. You did not see the dog that made those tracks, but you know he was there because the tracks are there. In this case you have indirectly observed the dog.</span>
In this case, "ground zero" means the starting point for an activity (like the American Civil Rights Movement). Georgia and Alabama were considered the starting points for this movement due to events such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott (after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man) and the campaign to end segregation in Albany, Georgia. These events began the domino effect for the Civil Rights Movement, inspiring other protests and demonstrations to occur across the country.
