   Extractions: Mounds, Pyramids, Stone Circles, more. Moundbuilders Photo Gallery DEFINITIONS: Geodesy is the discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the earth, its gravity field and geodynamic phenomena (polar motion, earth tides, and crustal motion) in three-dimensional time varying space. Geodesy is primarily concerned with positioning and the gravity field and geometrical aspects of their temporal variations. Geoid is essentially the real shape of the earth, without accounting for the topographic features. It is an idealized equilibrium surface. The geoid, unlike the ellipsoid, is too complicated to serve as the computational surface on which to solve geometrical problems like point position. Coordinate System. A reference system for defining points in space or on planes and surfaces with relation to designated axis, planes or surfaces. In surveying and mapping three general types are used: (1.) Plano-polar, in which points in a plane are defined by distance from a specified point along a ray having a specified direction with respect to a base line;

Some would also include the study of the Earth's magnetic field Wolfgang Torge quotes in his 2001 textbook Geodesy (3rd edition) Friedrich Robert Helmert as defining geodesy as " the science of the measurement and mapping of the earth's surface As Torge also remarks, the shape of the earth is to a large extent shaped by its gravity field. This applies to the solid surface ( orogeny ; few mountains are higher than 10 km, few deep sea trenches deeper than that) as it does to the liquid surface (dynamic sea surface topography) and the earth's atmosphere . For this reason, the study of the Earth's gravity field is seen as a part of geodesy, called physical geodesy See also: History of Geodesy Geodesy for the layman

    Extractions: GEODESY Since ancient times, man has made measurements in an attempt to determine the exact size and shape of the earth. Additionally, maps of the known world have been created for use in navigation. Today the need to determine the exact size, shape, and motions of the earth are important nationally and internationally in planning, shipping and transportation, and space exploration. The creation of map projections is a subject of geodesy. To enable users to tie maps together, monumented points with known coordinates are created. These points are used to control projects in aerial boundary construction , and hydrographic surveys. Geodesy is the field that explores the exact size, shape, and motions of the earth. In this process, geodesists create a network of monumented points on the earth's surface with known coordinates. In the past these coordinate systems have been locally derived, but with the advent of international travel and space exploration, world-wide coordinate systems have been created. Part of the study of geodesy are the fluctuations in strength the earth's gravitational and magnetic fields. These fluctuations affect several areas of study as well as other branches of surveying. The two images below are maps of the earth's gravitational and magnetic fields.

Please review any relevant discussion What is geodesy ? Webster defines geodesy as "that branch of applied mathematics which determines by observation and measurement the exact positions of points and the figures and areas of large portions of the earth's surface, the shape and size of the earth, and the variations of terrestrial gravity." It is a specialized application of several familiar facets of basic mathematical and physical concepts. In practice, geodesy uses the principles of mathematics astronomy and physics , and applies them within the capabilities of modern engineering and technology. In the past, military geodesy was largely involved with the practical aspect of the determination of exact positions of points on the earth's surface for mapping or artillery control purposes. The determination of the precise size and shape of the earth had a purely scientific role. Modern requirements are for answers to problems in satellite tracking , global navigation and defensive missile operations.

It formed around 4.5-4.6 billion years ago and is the only planet known to sustain life. This is because factors like its atmospheric composition and physical properties such as the presence of water over 70.8% of the planet allow life to thrive. Earth is also unique however because it is the largest of the terrestrial planets (one that is composed of a thin layer of rocks as opposed to those that are mostly made up of gases like Jupiter or Saturn) based on its mass, density, and diameter. Earth is also the fifth largest planet in the entire solar system. km . Mars, the smallest of the terrestrial planets by density, is only around 70% as dense as Earth.
