2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   A prism of power 1 Δ would produce 1 unit of displacement for an object held 100 units from the prism. Thus a prism of 1 Δ would produce 1 cm visible displacement at 100 cm, or 1 meter. This can be represented mathematically as: = ⁡ where is the amount of prism correction in prism dioptres, and is the angle of deviation of the light.

3. Exophoria - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exophoria

   Exophoria. Exophoria is a form of heterophoria in which there is a tendency of the eyes to deviate outward. [1] During examination, when the eyes are dissociated, the visual axes will appear to diverge away from one another. [2] The axis deviation in exophoria is usually mild compared with that of exotropia .

4. Stereographic map projection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereographic_map_projection

   The stereographic projection, also known as the planisphere projection or the azimuthal conformal projection, is a conformal map projection whose use dates back to antiquity. Like the orthographic projection and gnomonic projection, the stereographic projection is an azimuthal projection, and when on a sphere, also a perspective projection .

5. Accretionary wedge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accretionary_wedge

   An accretionary complex is a current (in modern use) or former accretionary wedge. Accretionary complexes are typically made up of a mix of turbidites of terrestrial material, basalts from the ocean floor, and pelagic and hemipelagic sediments. For example, most of the geological basement of Japan is made up of accretionary complexes.

6. Neogeography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neogeography

   Neogeography. Neogeography (literally "new geography") is the use of geographical techniques and tools for personal and community activities or by a non-expert group of users. [1] Application domains of neogeography are typically not formal or analytical. [2]

   A peak or projection from the top of a hill or mountain, or any rounded protrusion of land, especially a small but prominent or isolated hill with steep sides; a boulder or an area of resistant rock protruding from the side of a hill or mountain. The term is used primarily in the southern United States. [5] knoll.

8. Geomorphometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomorphometry

   Geomorphometrics is the discipline based on the computational measures of the geometry, topography and shape of the Earth's horizons, and their temporal change. [2] This is a major component of geographic information systems (GIS) and other software tools for spatial analysis. In simple terms, geomorphometry aims at extracting (land) surface ...

9. Physiographic region - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiographic_region

   Physiographic region. Physiographic regions are a means of defining Earth 's landforms into distinct, mutually exclusive areas, independent of political boundaries. It is based upon the classic three-tiered approach by Nevin M. Fenneman in 1916, that separates landforms into physiographic divisions, physiographic provinces, and physiographic ...
