Loxodrome or rhumb line or constant bearing line

 

Q loxodrome or 
Q rhumb line or 
Q constant bearing line



Definition



1 The line drawn to draw the distance between two l on the graticules drawn for drawing a map by axis and longitude is called rumb line or loxodome.V


2 When a straight line is drawn between two points on the globe, the origin of the angle is called rumb line or loxodrome.


3 A straight line drawn on the projection of the marketer intersects all the longitudes at a certain angle and is marked as a straight line pointing in a certain direction. It is called rumb line or loxodrome.


4 Since the longitudes of the marketer projection are parallel straight lines, any other straight line drawn on it intersects the longitudes at the same angle and creates angles equal to all the latitudes (at the points of intersection). This results in the formation of a constant bearing line over the globe. Such a line is called loxodrome or rumb line.




Characteristih



1 No loxodro or rumb line is required when drawing all types of projections.


2 A straight line drawn on a protruding roller projection or any other cylindrical projection intersects all longitude lines at certain angles, but not a rumb line.


3 In the case of the loxodrome or the rumb line, the radial scale and the tangential scale of the projection are equal to each other.


4 The loxodrome or rumb line is represented as a straight line in the marketer projection and the locomodrome or rumb line is presented as a curve in the mnemonic projection.


5 A straight line above the marketer's projection. This is known as loxodrome or rumb line.


Use or significance

1 The straight line loxodrome or rumb line (radial scale and tangen-seal scale are equal to each other) drawn on the marketers projection, so any two distant places for navigation of aircraft and ships can be connected with rumb line.




2 In the case of the polar region the straight line drawn on the mnemonic projection (although some are straight lines divided into smaller sections) the rumb line is therefore used to propel aircraft and ships. That is to say, the use of marketer projections in the movement of aircraft and ships is limited to the latitudes from which the mnemonic projections are used for the same purpose.


Loxodrome and mercator's projection. 

1 The straight lines in a market projection are the direction of continuity and the direction of direction. A straight line drawn on this projection intersects the longitudinal angles at a certain angle. And to say the right direction on this projection. The same bearing is maintained at the intersection points of the longitudinal lines with the drawn straight line, i.e. the radial scale and the tangential scale are equal to each other. Thus a straight line drawn on the projection of the marketer is a fixed direction or continuous direction and a straight line pointing in the right direction. This line is known as the lochrodom or rumb line.


2 Although the loxodrome or rumb line drawn on the marketer's projection is not the shortest distance, it is very important for sea voyage as it points in the right direction and constant direction or continuous direction. In other words, the loxodrome or rumb line is a straight line with specific bearings in the market projection, so any distance between two distant places for a ship or aviation has to be covered with a rhumb line or loxodrome.


3 Ships or planes want to follow the shortest route at sea or in the sky to save both time and money. That is why ships or planes move along the Mahabritta path. The arc is the shortest path between any two places on the earth. Adding two points along the elliptical path in the market projection will make the line curved and the bearing will be variable. Therefore, if the path of the arc is divided into several small sections and the points are connected by a straight line (which becomes a loxodrome), the ship or aircraft will have to cover a short distance, that is, it will be able to travel between two places in less time and less cost.




Suppose ABCDE is a great circle route or the pressure of the great circle route (AE simple rumballine) it is divided into AB, BC, CD and DE locksodrome (marked as rumb line). Although the distance along these lines is a little longer, one advantage is that the ship or aircraft only needs to change direction at points B, C, D. So loxodromes are essential for getting the right direction in the market projection.

SCOPE OF ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY

  SCOPE OF ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY Economic geography was defined by the German scholar Gotz in 1882 as "a scientific analysis of the character of world territories in their direct influence on goods."Despite the fact that Gotz was the one who coined the term "economic geography," his influence was limited to Germany. Because the abstract principles of the time were not developed, they could not be connected to economic geography. Economic geography owes its development as an academic topic to the British public's interest in business. It's worth noting that George Chisholm, the pioneer of contemporary economic geography, intended to instill a sense of intellectual curiosity in the study of geographic facts. He believed that economic geography's fundamental purpose is to "create some plausible forecast of the future course of commercial development insofar as that is affected by geographical conditions."Chisholm, on the other hand, focused on comme

Sandstone

Sandstone • Origin  Sandstone belongs to sedimentary rocks. Sandstone is the rock formed by the solidification of sand particles. • Features • Features  The sand particles in sandstone are usually quartz, the sand particles are mainly spherical. Quartz particles are small. Fine-grained sandstone with siltstone and pebble-like particles Sandstone is called conglomerate. This rock does not corrode easily when exposed to silicon or other similar elements, the sandstones are red and yellow in color depending on the material. Sand particles. Its color is red or brown when precipitated by silica, calcium carbonate or kaolin. Sandstone particles are harder than cementitious materials. Therefore, when they are broken, the solid particles are intact but the coagulant is broken. Sandstone composed of silica is very hard, so it is used in house construction. Ways of identification: 1 Composition— Quartz and some magnesium minerals. 2 Shapes—Lamination 3 colors - grayish yellow, reddish brown. 4 W

Possible modifiers of future livestock production and consumption trends

  Possible modifiers of future livestock production and consumption trends (a) Competition for resources (i) Land On the suitable land of the humid–sub humid zones, some rise in production is likely to occur where this is possiblethrough the use of improved pastures and effective management. In the more arid and semiarid areas, livestock are a key mechanism for managing risk.However increases of population are fragmenting rangelands in many places and making difficult for pastoralists to gain access to the feed and water resources that they have traditionally been able to access.In the future, grazing systems will increasingly provide ecosystem goods and services that are traded.But it is not clear, how future livestock production from these systems may be affected.  The mixed crop–livestock systems will continue to be critical to future food securitybecause two-thirds of the global population live in these systems. (ii) Water Globally freshwater resources are relatively scarce. Fre

the great circle

  the gre at circle   Concept The full circle that divides the earth into two equal parts is the great circle.  A circle is called a great circle only when it has the following three characteristics - that is - the largest circle in the sphere.  Larger circles cannot be drawn on the globe.  The earth is divided into two equal parts along the arc and the center of the 3 globes and the center of the earth will always be at one point.  So the radius of the great circle and the radius of the globe are always equal.  These three features are the only equator among the numerous axes and longitudes drawn on the globe.  So the equator is an example of a great circle.  As the equatorial circumference is the largest, it is the largest circle in the globe.  Other circles are small circles.  All perpendicular axes except the equator are tiny circles.  On the other hand, circles can be drawn on a geosphere extending through the north and south poles. Their centers are also located at the center of

DEFINITION OF ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY

  DEFINITION OF ECONOMY GEOGRAPHY The definition of economic geography has been given by different scholars in different ways. Definitions of some leading scholars and thinkers are presented here: According to Bangston and Von Royen “Economic Geography investigates the diversity in basic resources of the different parts of the world. It tries to evaluate the effect that differences in physical environment have upon the utilization of these resources. It studies differences in economic development in different regions of countries of the world. It also studies transportation, trade - routes and trade resulting from the differential development and as affected by the physical environment”. According to G. Chisholm “It (Economic Geography) embraces all geographical conditions affecting the production, transport and exchange of commodities.  Its chief use is to enable us to form some reasonable estimate of the future course of commercial development so far as that is governed” According t
