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...

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 sc...

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...

What are the factors that influence weather

   1. Composition and Structure of Rocks  As weathering causes the breakdown or alteration of different rocks, the association of different minerals in the rock, the pattern of fractures, the formation of sediments, the condition of fractures or faults etc. affect the weathering. In terms of mineral association, scientist Bowen's statement is that darker colored minerals are more prone to weathering. Because such minerals are generally of alkaline type and alkaline igneous rocks are more chemically weathered. Again in the case of rock formation, it can be seen that its fine-grained rocks are crushed relatively quickly. Because of this, different grains of rock respond differently to the weathering process, causing cracks to form within the rock.  And all the rocks that contain carbonates (carbonate, magnesium carbonate, etc.) are chemically altered. On the other hand, heat differentials in vertical cracks or jagged rocks or snow processes are more effective. On the o...

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...

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...
