  2. Population momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_momentum

    The population momentum is calculated by dividing this final total population number by the starting population. [4] Momentum, Ω, can be expressed as: = In this equation, b is the crude birth rate while e o is the life expectancy at birth. Q is the total number of births per initial birth.

  3. Momentum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

    In Newtonian mechanics, momentum (pl.: momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.

  4. Synoptic scale meteorology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synoptic_scale_meteorology

    In meteorology, the synoptic scale (also called the large scale or cyclonic scale) is a horizontal length scale of the order of 1,000 km (620 mi) or more. [1] This corresponds to a horizontal scale typical of mid-latitude depressions (e.g. extratropical cyclones).

    Also amphidrome and tidal node. A geographical location where there is little or no tide, i.e. where the tidal amplitude is zero or nearly zero because the height of sea level does not change appreciably over time (meaning there is no high tide or low tide), and around which a tidal crest circulates once per tidal period (approximately every 12 hours). Tidal amplitude increases, though not ...

  6. Geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography

    Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be. While geography is specific to Earth, many concepts can be applied more broadly to other celestial bodies in the field of planetary science. [2]

    The Demography of the World Population from 1950 to 2100. Data source: United Nations — World Population Prospects 2017. Demography (from Ancient Greek δῆμος (dêmos) 'people, society' and -γραφία (-graphía) 'writing, drawing, description') [1] is the statistical study of human populations: their size, composition (e.g., ethnic group, age), and how they change through the ...

  9. Vortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex

    The angular momentum per unit mass relative to the vortex axis is therefore constant, =. The ideal irrotational vortex flow in free space is not physically realizable, since it would imply that the particle speed (and hence the force needed to keep particles in their circular paths) would grow without bound as one approaches the vortex axis.
