The topography of the Moon has been measured by the methods of laser altimetry and stereo image analysis, most recently from data obtained during the Clementine mission . The most visible topographic feature is the giant far side South Pole Aitken basin , which possesses the lowest elevation s of the Moon. The highest elevations are found just to the north east of this basin, and it has been suggested that this area might represent thick ejecta deposits that were emplaced during an oblique South Pole Aitken basin impact event. Other large impact basins, such as the Lunar mare maria Mare Imbrium Imbrium , Mare Serenitatis Serenitatis , Mare Crisium Crisium , Mare Smythii Smythii , and Mare Orientale Orientale , also possess regionally low elevations and elevated Rim craters rim s. Another distinguishing feature of the Moon s shape is that the elevations are on average about 1.9 Kilometre km higher on the far side than the near side. If it is assumed that the Crust geology crust is in Isostasy isostatic equilibrium , and that the density of the crust is everywhere the same, then the higher elevations would be associated with a thicker crust.

Italic title The Christian Topography original Koine Greek Greek title lang grc , Latin title Topographia Christiana is a 6th century work, one of the earliest essays in scientific geography written by a Christian author. It was originally written as five books by Cosmas Indicopleustes and expanded to ten to twelve books around 550 AD. The work advances the idea that the world is flat earth flat , and that the sky heavens form the shape of a box with a curved lid, and especially attacks the idea that the heavens were spherical and in motion, now known as the geocentric model model of the universe. The author cites passages of scripture which he interprets originally in order to support his thesis , and attempts to argue down the idea of a spherical earth by stigmatizing it as Paganism pagan . An early surviving reference to the work is by Patriarch Photios I of Constantinople in the 9th century AD. Photius condemns the style and syntax of the text as well as the honesty of the author.

Other uses Deadwater disambiguation Deadwater A deadwater is that part of an estuary through which there is little to no water flow. In situations where a river flow is weaker than the marine processes that build sand dune s, the river may be obstructed from flowing into the sea by the formation of a sand dune that is, a sandbar . In such cases the river will often form an elongate estuary in the swales of the dune. When river flow increases, or once the estuary has built up a large mass of water, it breaches the sandbar and flows out to the ocean. If this breach occurs at the farthest end of the estuary from the river inflow, then water must flow through the whole length of the estuary in order to reach the sea. Thus the entire estuary is flushed, and there is no deadwater. On the other hand, if the breach occurs near the river inflow, then most of the estuary will not be flushed by the flow of the river into the sea, resulting in a large deadwater.

The Integrated Circuit Topography Act An Act to provide for the protection of integrated circuit topographies and to amend certain Acts in consequence thereof , C 37 is legislation passed by the Parliament of Canada in 1990 that regulates the intellectual property of mask work integrated circuit topographies . It came into force in 1993. The Act provides exclusive right s for the creator of the integrated circuit topography and remedies to deter infringement. The exclusive right is transferable. To receive the exclusive right to an integrated circuit topography the topography must be registered at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office . Between 1993 and 1999 there were about 38 registrations under the Act. Integrated Circuit Topographies ICT are electronic integrated circuits or IC products that are configured and interconnected. These creations are protected in Canada by the Integrated Circuit Topography Act, which gives the creator exclusive rights for a period of ten years after registration. Because products containing these circuits are often exported outside Canada, Canada has reciprocal agreements with other countries that also protect the design for ten years.
