  2. Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered,_Earth...

    The Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system (acronym ECEF), also known as the geocentric coordinate system, is a cartesian spatial reference system that represents locations in the vicinity of the Earth (including its surface, interior, atmosphere, and surrounding outer space) as X, Y, and Z measurements from its center of mass.

  3. Axes conventions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axes_conventions

    For positive y- and z-axis, we have to face two different conventions: In case of land vehicles like cars, tanks etc., which use the ENU-system (East-North-Up) as external reference (World frame), the vehicle's (body's) positive y- or pitch axis always points to its left, and the positive z- or yaw axis always points up. World frame's origin is ...

  4. Earth orientation parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Orientation_Parameters

    In setting up a coordinate system, a static terrestrial point called the IERS Reference Pole, or IRP, is used as the origin; the x-axis is in the direction of IRM, the IERS Reference Meridian; the y-axis is in the direction 90 degrees West longitude. x and y are the coordinates of the CEP relative to the IRP.

  5. Abscissa and ordinate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abscissa_and_ordinate

    Cartesian plane with marked points (signed ordered pairs of coordinates). For any point, the abscissa is the first value (x coordinate), and the ordinate is the second value (y coordinate). In mathematics , the abscissa ( / æ b ˈ s ɪ s . ə / ; plural abscissae or abscissas ) and the ordinate are respectively the first and second coordinate ...

  6. Geodetic datum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodetic_datum

    A geodetic datum or geodetic system (also: geodetic reference datum, geodetic reference system, or geodetic reference frame, or terrestrial reference frame) is a global datum reference or reference frame for unambiguously representing the position of locations on Earth by means of either geodetic coordinates (and related vertical coordinates) or geocentric coordinates.

    Goonyella Riverside Mine is a large open cut coking coal mine in the Bowen Basin. [1] It is one of many coal mines in Central Queensland, Australia and is located at Moranbah about 30 km north of the township. [2] The mine produced 12.4 million tonnes of metallurgical coal from July 2012 to June 2013. [3] In 2019 this figure was 17.1 million ...

    Coal stocks have been overlooked over the past few years, mostly due to the green energy wave. Consequently, these stocks are also considerably undervalued based on forward sales and cash flow ...

  9. Thar coalfield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thar_coalfield

    The coal beds of variable thickness ranging from 0.20–22.81 metres are developed. The maximum number of coal seams found in some of the drill holes is 20. The cumulative thickness of the coal beds range from 0.2 to 36 metres. Claystone invariably forms the roof and the floor rock of the coal beds.
