grapho-, graph-, -graph, -graphy, -grapher, -graphia +

A deep steep-walled half-bowl-like recess or hollow, variously described as horseshoe-shaped, crescent-shaped, or semi-circular in form, situated high on the side of a mountain and commonly at the head of a glacial valley and produced by the erosive activity of a mountain glacier.

It often contains a small round lake, and it may, or may not, be occupied by ice or snow.

The physical character and distribution of natural resources on the face of the earth.

The fundamental differences between land and ocean, latitudinal differences in insulation, spatial variations in receipts of precipitation, and patterns of geological composition, and deformation of the earth's crust together provide the basis for distinguishing definite geographical patterns of resource availability through out the world.

Geographic System, Part 2.

Geographic Information System, Mapping.

1. The computer hardware, software, and technical expertise applied to assemble and to analyze geographical data; especially, the correlation of databases with graphic displays to present information; frequently employed in environmental studies.
2. An organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information which can be drawn from different sources, both statistical and mapped.
3. Computer programs linking features commonly seen on maps; such as, roads, town boundaries, and water bodies, with related information not usually presented on maps; for examlple, type of road surface, population, type of agriculture, type of vegetation, or water quality information.

GIS is a unique information system in which individual observations can be spatially referenced to each other.

4. A technology that is used to view and analyze data from a geographic perspective. The technology is a piece of an organization's overall information system framework.

GIS links locations to information; such as, people to addresses, buildings to parcels of land, or streets within a network, and layers that information to give a better understanding of how it all interrelates. The user can than choose which layers to combine based on his/her purpose.

An area based primarily on hydrologic boundaries adjusted as needed using a specified set of criteria to accommodate the inventory and analysis of natural resources.

A geographic unit can vary in scale depending on the criteria used, the level of inventory and analysis needed, and the problems perceived. In all cases, geographic units incorporate both groundwater and surface water.

1. The study of the natural features of the earth's surface, comprising topography, climate, soil, vegetation, etc. and man's responses to them.
2. The physical features of a region, area, or place; usually, the surface features.

The study of energy development, transportation, markets, or use patterns from a geographical perspective.

An instrument for recording the tongue's movements during speech.

1. Someone who compiles glosses or glossaries.
2. A writer of a glossary; a commentator.

1. The writing of glosses or commentaries; the compiling of glossaries.
2. A written description of the tongue. A description or grouping of languages.
3. An instrument for recording the movements of the tongue when speaking.

1. A reference to the writing of glossaries, glosses, or comments for illustrating an author.
2. Descriptive of the compilation of glosses or glossaries.

A plate made by glyphography, or an impression taken from such a plate.

An electrotype process by which a copy of an engraved plate is obtained with a raised surface, suited for letter-press printing.
