Concave vs convex
Concave: at high elevations, contour lines are closely spaced, at low elevations, contour lines are widely spaced
Convex: at high elevation, contour lines are widely spaced, at low elevations, contour lines are closely spaced
Planar
contour lines have the same spacing on each contour line
With the use of conduction, this part is magnetically induction-damped (which means that there is another opposite magnetic field that dampens the magnetic field given off by the earth) and therefore, allows for precision and reading in a less amount of time
Magnetic needle
This is used to remedy a compass whose graduated circle has turned from its proper position
Declination adjustment screw
This circle is either divided into 0-90 gradations or 0-360 for measurement of bearing and azimuth direction, respectively
circular scale
this part is used as a means to determine inclination and bearing direction with precision and is located on the cover of the compass and at the end of the large sight
small sight and peep sight
this is used to determine inclination, one uses the vernier adjustment to move the * to its desired position
long level
usually utilized when an object below the observer to be sighted is situated greater than 50 degrees from the tip of the large sight through the peep window
sighting window
this part of the compass contains numbers that are used for measuring inclination using the vernier adjustment and long level
semicircular scale
this is used as a means to determine inclination and azimuth direction with precision and is located along the long arm of the compass
large sight
this part is used during precise direction measurement to level/make horizontal the compass to the ground
round level
this part is located at the bottom of the compass and is used to determine inclination
vernier arm
it reflects both levels such that if there is something blocking one’s line of sight, one can use the mirror to level the compass/measure inclination. It is also used to divide an object sighted through the large sight
center line on mirror
this is used to lift pin to stop it from rotating
needle lift pin
difference between azimuth and quadrant bearing
azimuth measures angles clockwise from north
quadrant bearing: the compass is divided into 4 quadrants and angles are measured from north and south towards east and west directions
Room temperature vs refrigerator rate of cooling/crystallization crystal size relative abundance crystal shape
Room temperature: slower, small, less
refrigerator: faster, large, few
octahedral
purpose of seed crystal in crystallization process
serve as a nucleation site where the ions will bind
relationship of:
temperature during crystallization and rate of crystallization
temperature during crystallization and crystal size
rate of crystallization and crystal size
rate of crystallization and crystal abundance

brunton compass is a * that consists of an ordinary compass, folding open sights, a mirror and a rectangular spirit-level clinometer
compact pocket instrument
