    Polar coordinates are used often in navigation, as the destination or direction of travel can be given as an angle and distance from the object being considered. For instance, aircraft use a slightly modified version of the polar coordinates for navigation. In this system, the one generally used for any sort of navigation, the 0° ray is generally called heading 360, and the angles continue in a clockwise direction, rather than counterclockwise, as in the mathematical system. Heading 360 corresponds to magnetic north, while headings 90, 180, and 270 correspond to magnetic east, south, and west, respectively.[21] Thus, an aircraft traveling 5 nautical miles due east will be traveling 5 units at heading 90 (read zero-niner-zero by air traffic control).[22]…

    The Aztecs developed compasses, squares, plumb levels, and applied geometry for their building and measurement. Not only did they need these instruments for engineering their cities and edifices, but also for precise land measurement for taxation purposes (Landon, 1993, MA29). In contrast, the Omaha used a stake and a rawhide strap to make circles. Other North American native people, the Kwakuitl made right angles and squares with a system of cords and pegs by finding midpoints and doubling. (Landon, 1993, p.…

    Surveyors often use triangulation to measure distance. Starting at a known location and elevation, surveyors measure a length to create a base line (Jains 30-48). The length of the base line and the two known angles allow a computer or person to determine the location of a third point.…

    -Physical Geography Laboratory: In this lab we have a workbook and each week we complete a lab that always involves a globe. In this lab I do not find myself learning new information because the labs are very self explanatory and usually simple. Thus, the only method I use is working quickly so I can leave early. After reading this I do understand that this sounds horrible, but measuring latitude and longitude is something that I will not be doing in the future. Like the geography lecture, I will not be using this information in the future so it is okay that I am not absorbing it…

    A graphometer is a surveying instrument which consists of a semi-circle which has been divided into degrees and minutes, and has a pair of sight veins at either end as well as a movable alidade with a pair of sights at either end. It was used to calculate distances by means of triangulation and to determine positions of specific points on land or at sea .Many graphometers, although not all of them, have a built in magnetic compass.…

    In this instance the community pattern is zonation. Zonation occurs because different species need different environmental conditions to suit their adaptations in order to survive, and therefore they need to position themselves on the rocky shore accordingly. These zones run parallel to the water and range from the high tide point (the highest place on the shore that the high tide reaches) to low tide point (the lowest point which the water goes to). Zonation results from the constant change of environmental conditions such as exposure to air and water. The less exposure air the species are able to withstand the closer to the low tide mark they’ll be and vice-versa. An advantage of zonation is it reduces interspecific competition for all the species in that community because…
