Time geography or time-space geography is an evolving transdisciplinary perspective on spatial and temporal processes and events such as social interaction, ecological interaction, social and environmental change, and biographies of individuals. [1]
A clock is set to the local time of a starting point whose longitude is known, and the longitude of any other place can be determined by comparing its local mean time with the clock time. While marine chronometers are relatively stable, they are also relatively large and expensive.
Examples of the visual language of time geography: space-time cube, path, prism, bundle, and other concepts. Time is usually thought to be within the domain of history, however, it is of significant concern in the discipline of geography. [39] [40] [41] In physics, space and time are not separated, and are combined into the concept of spacetime ...
Examples of tipping points include thawing permafrost, which will release methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, or melting ice sheets and glaciers reducing Earth's albedo, which would warm the planet faster. Thawing permafrost is a threat multiplier because it holds roughly twice as much carbon as the amount currently circulating in the atmosphere.
Distance decay is a geographical term which describes the effect of distance on cultural or spatial interactions. [1] The distance decay effect states that the interaction between two locales declines as the distance between them increases.
Every point on Earth has a location. Location can be described in two different ways: Absolute location, a location as described by its latitude and longitude on the Earth. For example, the coordinates of Albany, New York are 42.6525° N, 73.7572° W. Relative location, a location as described by where it is compared to something else.
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 ...
In music a time point or timepoint (point in time) is "an instant, analogous to a geometrical point in space". [1] Because it has no duration, it literally cannot be heard, [2] but it may be used to represent "the point of initiation of a single pitch, the repetition of a pitch, or a pitch simultaneity", [3] therefore the beginning of a sound, rather than its duration.
