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 a...

santal

  Introduction : Santals are the most numerous of the tribes in India. The word Santal comes from Sawantar . This name they used even after coming to this country. According to some, they came to be known as Saostar or Santal because of their long residence in the Samantabhoomi or Saost country adjacent to Medinipur. At present most of the Santals live around the Santal Parganas. The topography of this vast region is full of diversity.  On the west lies the rugged undulating terrain of Jharkhand, and on the other (east) the alluvial plains. In this vast land, the Santal population has largely merged to survive. 1 Habitat  Santals live in the tea estates of Bihar Santal Parganas, Dhaka, Munger, Bhagalpur, Hazaribagh, Purnia, Manbhum, Singhbhum, Odisha's Mayurbhanj, West Bengal's Medinipur, Purulia, Malda, North Bengal and Assam. 2.Ethic identity According to the caste theory, the Santals are descendants of the Dravidian group, whose main source is the Austro-As...

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 b...

Climate change in Asia

G lobal air and ocean temperatures are rising. Oceans are acidifying and ice caps are melting. Natural disasters are occurring more frequently and their intensity is also increasing. Warming of the climate system is unequivocal. Growing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases is leading to rise in heat. Earth's average temperature in the last century has increased by about 3-4°C. It is now well documented that such warming will bring huge damages to ecosystems, species, human infrastructures, societies and livelihoods. Climate change is no longer a distant threat to progress. Climate and more frequent natural disasters threaten to significantly increase hunger and malnutrition. More frequent and intense natural disasters; deteriorating environment and land productivity; and reduced access to food, water and sanitation are projected to increase the risk of hunger and malnutrition worldwide-most affecting countries where hunger, undernutrition and food ...

Kirghiz

 Kirghiz                Location:  The Kyrgyz live in the western part of the step meadows north of the Tiansan Mountains, a continental location in Central Asia. As this region is isolated from the original civilization, its communication with the developed regions of the country is very weak. Although there is little contact with Russia's developed regions in the north, the Xian Desert and the Tibetan Plateau in the south have separated them from China and India. These are separated by arid desert regions to the east and west. However, they occasionally came in contact with other nomadic groups, the Mongols and the Turkmen. Environment:  The topography is diverse. The plateaus of the south have been lowered and gradually merged into the vast plains of the north. The highest point of the plateau is the highest Tiansan Mountains in the far south from 3000 to 4000 meters. Climate:  The climate is extreme for continental location...

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” Ac...
