(T’es-tu demandé pourquoi ces deux montagnes avaient le même nom ? As-tu une hypothèse ?). Jour 2 : Page 202 A première cet exercice me semblait sympathique et plutôt facile à faire. Puis j’ai eu quelques appels mardi matin. Navré, je n’avais pas réalisé qu’il y’avait des fractions !! Donc je vais essayer d’être hyper détaillé pour que vous compreniez. 1/ Déjà il fallait comprendre le vocabulaire : Guindant = la largeur du drapeau (ce sera notre unité, je l’appellerai « U ») Battant = La longueur du drapeau qui vaut 1,5 x U. Le rayon du grand cercle imaginaire qui vaut 1/3 de U. C’est-à-dire que si on coupait la largeur du drapeau en 3 bouts, le rayon serait grand comme un seul de ces petits bouts. Le rayon des petits cercles imaginaires autour des étoiles valent 1/18 de U. C’est-à-dire que si on coupait la largeur du drapeau en 18 bouts, le rayon serait grand comme un seul de ces petits bouts. - On peut donc facilement remplir la dernière colonne du tableau : Si U = 9, la largeur vaut 1,5x9 soit 13,5. Si U = 9, le grand rayon vaut 1/3 de 9 (je coupe 9 en 3 morceaux ça fait 3 et 3 et 3) donc le grand rayon = 3cm Si U = 9, le petit rayon vaut 1/18 de 9 (je coupe 9 en 18 morceaux, ça fait 18 bouts de 0,5) donc le petit rayon = 0,5cm Ensuite je peux utiliser les propriétés de la « PROPORTIONNALITE ». C’est-à-dire que si j’agrandis la largeur, la longueur ou un rayon du drapeau, je serai obligé de faire la même chose avec toutes les autres mesures pour que ça ressemble au même drapeau. Si je multiplie par deux la largeur, je multiplie aussi par deux la longueur et les rayons. Dans les indices qu’on nous a laissé dans le tableau, - Dans l’avant dernière colonne : on voit que 6 c’est le double de 3 (de la dernière colonne) donc on sait qu’on a doublé TOUTES LES MESURES de la dernière colonne à l’avant dernière colonne. - Dans la 3e colonne, on voit que 1,5 c’est trois fois 0,5 de la dernière colonne. On comprend donc qu’il faut faire « x3 » avec toutes les mesures de la dernière colonne pour trouver la 3e colonne. - Dans la seconde colonne, on voit que 2 c’est 4 fois 0,5. On quadruple tout. - Dans la première colonne, on voit que 10, c’est 20 fois 0,5 (regarde ta règle, compte combien il y’a de fois « 0,5 » jusqu’à 10). On va donc multiplier par 20 toutes les mesures de la dernière colonne pour trouver la 1ère. 2/ Pour construire il fallait regarder la dernière colonne du tableau. Commencer par le rectangle (9cm sur 13,5cm). Puis tracer les diagonales : on trouvait le centre où on pouvait tracer le grand cercle avec un rayon de 3cm. Puis placer les 4 premiers petits cercles comme sur une horloge à minuit, 3h, 6h et 9h sur les deux tracés qui coupent le grand cercle horizontalement et verticalement. Puis avec ton compas ouvert à 3cm (comme pour le rayon du grand cercle), tu places la pointe sur le centre de minuit ou 6h puis comme pour une rosace, tu traces un petit trait, tu pointes là où tu viens d’en faire un etc. Jusqu’à avoir fait un tour complet. Tu te retrouves normalement avec 6 traits éloignés à la même distance. Puis tu fais la même chose mais en commençant à 3h ou 9h. Tu as donc 12 centres d’étoiles éloignés à la même distance. D’ailleurs…tu viens de couper ton cercle en 12 parts égales… on en revient aux fractions ! C’est fou ;) Tu n’as plus qu’à dessiner à peu près les étoiles et…colorier ! Jour 3 : p203 Là, il fallait suivre la construction. Reproduire la même chose que le manuel n’a pas de sens, tu verras bien si tu t’es trompé ou pas. Si tu n’as pas réussi, envoie moi un mail pour que j’essaye de t’aider Je peux cependant te rappeler le vocabulaire… - Un diamètre c’est un trait qui PASSE PAR LE CENTRE du cercle et qui touche deux bouts du cercle (il vaut 2 rayons). - Un rayon c’est la moitié du diamètre. Il va du centre à n’importe quel bout du cercle. - Perpendiculaire ça signifie que deux droites se croisent en ANGLE DROIT. - Le sommet c’est la rencontre de deux traits d’une figure. Par exemples les coins d’un carré ou les pointes d’une étoile ;) Evidemment, il ne fallait pas faire le « C ». Mais si tu l’as fait, prend toi en photo, je cacherai ton visage et la mettrai sur le blog pour montrer à tes camarades ton beau drapeau .

Conditions will be encountered in mountains that have a significant effect on. military operations. Mountain operations require, among other things^ special equipment, special training and acclimatization, and a high decree of self-discipline if operations are to succeed. Mountains of military significance are generally characterized by rugged compartmented terrain witn\steep slopes and few natural or manmade lines of communication. Weather in these mountains is seasonal and reaches across the entireSspectrum from extreme cold, with ice and snow in most regions during me winter, to extreme heat in some regions during the summer. AlthoughNthese extremes of weather are important planning considerations, the variability of weather over a short period of time—and from locality to locahty within the confines of a small area—also significantly influences tactical operations. Historically, the focal point of mountain operations has been the battle to control the heights. Changes in weaponry and equipment have not altered this fact. In all but the most extreme conditions of terrain and weather, infantry, with its light equipment and mobility, remains the basic maneuver force in the mountains. With proper equipment and training, it is ideally suited for fighting the close-in battfe commonly associated with mountain warfare. Mechanized infantry can\also enter the mountain battle, but it must be prepared to dismount and conduct operations on foot.

  • The Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria) in the Last Ten Years
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 47–68 PL ISSN 0081-6434 EMIL GACHEV (BLAGOEVGRAD) INTER-ANNUAL SIZE VARIATIONS OF SNEZHNIKA GLACIERET (THE PIRIN MOUNTAINS, BULGARIA) IN THE LAST TEN YEARS Abstract: Glacierets, which are in fact embryonic forms of recent glaciation, can serve as important indicators of contemporary climate dynamics in areas where classical glaciers do not exist, such as the high mountains in Southeastern Europe. Two glacierets are located in Bulgaria’s Pirin Mountains: Snezhnika and Banski Suhodol. Snezhnika has been relatively well studied for the last 50 years, and in particular since 1994, when annual size measurements on a regular basis started. The present study focuses on the recent variations in the size of Snezhnika i.e. in the last ten years. Data about the area of the glacieret at the end of the ablation season (in autumn), which was obtained for each year by field measurements and analytical calculations, show that temperature can be considered as a major factor that drives glacieret fluctuations. At the current stage precipitation factor can not be evaluated properly due to the deficit of accurate climate information. Key words: the Pirin Mountains, glacierets, size variation, climate change, climatic factors INTRODUCTION Although small in size and volume, in many mountain areas glacierets are natu- ral features of sufficient value for studies of the dynamics of environmental proc- esses, climatic variations and change. Glacierets are small bodies of perennial ice, which are smaller than glaciers but bigger and more persistent than snow patches. Glacierets are typified by a density of close-to-bottom ice of about 0.6 to 0.8 g cm–3, presence of annual layers in the vertical cross-section, and long- term persistence — decades to centuries (G r u n e w a l d et al.

  • 1 Mountains and Their Climatological Study
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-68158-2 - Mountain Weather and Climate, Third Edition Roger G. Barry Excerpt More information 1 MOUNTAINS AND THEIR CLIMATOLOGICAL STUDY 1.1 INTRODUCTION It is the aim of this book to bring together the major strands of our existing knowledge of weather and climate in the mountains. The first part of the book deals with the basic controls of the climatic and meteorological phenomena and the second part with particular applications of mountain climatology and meteor- ology. By illustrating the general climatic principles, a basis can also be provided for estimating the range of conditions likely to be experienced in mountain areas of sparse observational data. In this chapter we introduce mountain environments as they have been perceived historically, and consider the physical characteristics of mountains and their global significance. We then briefly review the history of research into mountain weather and climate and outline some basic considerations that influence their modern study. 1.1.1 Historical perceptions The mountain environment has always been regarded with awe. The Greeks believed Mount Olympus to be the abode of the gods, to the Norse the Jotunheim¨ was the home of the Jotuns, or ice giants, while to the Tibetans, Mount Everest (Chomo Longmu) is the ‘‘goddess of the snows.’’ In many cultures, mountains are considered ‘‘sacred places;’’ Nanga Parbat, an 8125 m summit in the Himalaya, means sacred mountain in Sanskrit, for example. Conspicuous peaks are associated with ancestral figures or deities (Bernbaum, 1998) – Sengem Sama with Fujiyama (3778 m) in Japan and Shiva-Parvati with Kailas (6713 m) in Tibet – although at other times mountains have been identified with malevolent spirits, the Diablerets in the Swiss Valais, for example.

    4. Tourist attractions in Central European. Countries Předmět: The Tourist Attractions in the Czech Republic and in the World Geography of Switzerland The beautiful, mountainous country of Switzerland is landlocked in south-central Europe, and remains one of the most popular travel destinations on the planet. Mountains cover 60% of Switzerland's land area, with ranges of the Alps in the south and the Jura Mountains to the north. Switzerland's highest point is Dufourspitze (Monte Rosa), in the Pennine Alps, which rises to (4,634 m). Also located within the Pennine Alps is the infamous Matterhorn whose summit is (4,478 m) high. Moving north, the Rhine River makes up much of Switzerland's border with Germany, as well as part of Lake Constance. Switzerland's two largest lakes are Lake Geneva (shared with France) and Lake Neuchatel - which is the largest lake entirely within the country's borders. The main tourist attractions in Switzerland The Matterhorn, Switzerland's iconic pointed peak is one of the highest mountains in the Alps. On the border with Italy, this legendary peak rises to 4,478 meters, and its four steep faces lie in the direction of the compass points. The first summiting in 1865 ended tragically when four climbers fell to their death during the descent. Today, thousands of experienced climbers come here each summer. One of the most popular experiences in the beautiful Bernese Oberland is the train journey to Jungfraujoch, the "Top of Europe," with an observation terrace and scientific observatory perched at 3,454 meters. The longest glacier in Europe, the Great Aletsch Glacier begins at Jungfraujoch, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Via Ferrata: a Short Introduction Giuliano Bressan, Claudio Melchiorri CAI – Club Alpino Italiano
    Via Ferrata: A short introduction Giuliano Bressan, Claudio Melchiorri CAI – Club Alpino Italiano 1. Introduction In the last years, the number of persons climbing “vie ferrate” has rapidly increased, and this manner of approaching mountains is becoming more and more popular among mountaineers and hikers, in particular among young persons. The terms “via ferrata” and “sentiero attrezzato” (or equipped path) indicate that a set of fixed equipment (metallic ropes, ladders, chains, bridges, …) is installed along an itinerary in order to facilitate its ascension, guaranteeing at the same time a good margin of security. In this manner, also non extremely expert persons may have the opportunity to approach mountains and vertical walls that would be climbable, without this equipment, only by means of standard climbing techniques and equipment (i.e. rope, pitons, and so on). With this fixed equipment it is then possible to grant almost to everybody the emotion of altitudes and the excitement of vertical walls, without taking major risks and without being involved, possibly, in dangerous situations. Nevertheless, practicing “vie ferrate” should not be compared with the classical climbing activity. As a matter of fact, also considering the physical and psychological engagement necessary in any case to climb a “via ferrata” (some are very difficult from a technical and physical point of view), very different are the technical skills, the experience, the capabilities and the emotional control needed to face in a proper way any negative situation possibly occurring in a mountaineering activity. Nowadays, the term “via ferrata” has been internationally adopted, although in some countries they are also known as Klettersteig (this word indicates the specific karabiners to be used in this activity).

  • Stability Assessment of Degrading Permafrost Rock Slopes Based on A
    https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2020-70 Preprint. Discussion started: 28 September 2020 c Author(s) 2020. CC BY 4.0 License. Stability assessment of degrading permafrost rock slopes based on a coupled thermo-mechanical model Philipp Mamot, Samuel Weber, Saskia Eppinger, and Michael Krautblatter Chair of Landslide Research, Technical University of Munich, 80333, Germany 5 Correspondence to: Philipp Mamot ([email protected]) Abstract. In the last two decades, permafrost degradation has been observed to be a major driver of enhanced rock slope instability and associated hazards in high mountains. While the thermal regime of permafrost degradation in high mountains has already been intensively investigated, the mechanical consequences on rock slope stability have so far not been reproduced in numerical models. Laboratory studies and conceptual models argue that warming and thawing decrease rock and 10 discontinuity strength and promote deformation. This study presents the first general approach for a temperature-dependent numerical stability model that simulates the mechanical response of a warming and thawing permafrost rock slope. The proposed procedure is applied to a rockslide at the permafrost-affected Zugspitze summit crest. Laboratory tests on frozen and unfrozen rock joint and intact rock properties provide material parameters for the discontinuum model developed with the Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). 15 Geophysical and geotechnical field surveys deliver information on the permafrost distribution and fracture network. The model demonstrates that warming decreases rock slope stability to a critical level, while thawing initiates failure. A sensitivity analysis of the model with a simplified geometry and warming trajectory below 0 °C shows that progressive warming close to the melting point initiates instability above a critical slope angle of 50–62°, depending on the orientation of the fracture network.
