The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object X {\displaystyle X} in n {\displaystyle n} - dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X {\displaystyle X} into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.
This category is for points that are considered as the centers of objects for some purpose. Subcategories This category has the following 4 subcategories, out of 4 total.
R. Hall (1987) predicts the average velocity along the strike-slip fault is 0.5 cm (0.20 in) per year, [16] while some of the other models predict the velocity of 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) per year. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] However, models agreed that the onset of the Philippine Fault was between 2–4 Ma, and that it propagated southwards to the present ...
In mathematics and physics, the centroid, also known as geometric center or center of figure, of a plane figure or solid figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the points in the surface of the figure. [further explanation needed] The same definition extends to any object in -dimensional Euclidean space. [1]
Distances from center are conserved. Used as the emblem of the United Nations, extending to 60° S. c. 580 BC: Gnomonic: Azimuthal Gnomonic Thales (possibly) All great circles map to straight lines. Extreme distortion far from the center. Shows less than one hemisphere. 1772 Lambert azimuthal equal-area: Azimuthal Equal-area Johann Heinrich Lambert
The Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers (ETC) is an online list of thousands of points or "centers" associated with the geometry of a triangle. This resource is hosted at the University of Evansville. It started from a list of 400 triangle centers published in the 1998 book Triangle Centers and Central Triangles by Professor Clark Kimberling. [1]
Shift of the world's economic center of gravity since 1980 and projected until 2050 [7] Various definitions of geographical centres exists. The definitions used by the references in this article refer to calculations within the 2 dimensions of a surface, mainly as the surface of Earth is the domain of human cultural existence.
In geography, the centroid of the two-dimensional shape of a region of the Earth's surface (projected radially to sea level or onto a geoid surface) is known as its geographic centre or geographical centre or (less commonly) gravitational centre.
