Polygon | Different polygon | naming of ploygon

Polygon In mathematics, a polygon is a closed geometric shape that is made up of a finite number of straight line segments (edges) that are joined together end-to-end. The point where the two segments meet is called a vertex. The segments and the space inside the polygon define the polygon. Polygons can be broadly categorized into two types: regular and irregular. A regular polygon is one in which all of its sides are the same length and all of its angles are congruent (equal). An irregular polygon is one in which the sides are of different lengths and the angles are not congruent Polygon Naming Conventions Here is a list of the names of polygons, along with the number of sides they have: Triangle : 3 sides Quadrilateral : 4 sides Pentagon : 5 sides Hexagon: 6 sides Heptagon: 7 sides Octagon: 8 sides Nonagon: 9 sides Decagon: 10 sides Hendecagon or Undecagon: 11 sides Dodecagon: 12 sides Triskaidecagon or Tridecagon: 13 sides Tetradecagon:...

What is Ecotone ? Edge effect and characteristic of Ecotone | environment and ecology upsc

What is Ecotone ? An ecotone is a transition zone between two ecosystems or biomes. It is the area where the distribution of plant and animal species changes as one ecosystem gives way to another. Ecotones can occur at a variety of scales, from the boundary between a forest and a grassland, to the interface between a coral reef and the open ocean. These transition zones are often highly biodiverse, as they provide a variety of different habitats for different species. Ecotones are also known to play an important role in the functioning of ecosystems and are often considered keystone features in conservation and management. Characteristic of Ecotone Ecotones have several characteristics that distinguish them from the ecosystems on either side of the transition zone. Some of these include: 1. Biodiversity : Ecotones tend to have a higher diversity of plant and animal species than the ecosystems they connect. This is because ecotones provide a range of different habitats that...
