Figure 8.5 Coastline Fractal #294

Closed shiffman closed 7 months ago

shiffman commented 1 year ago

I took parts of the two different Greeland coastlines and place them side by side. I think this works quite well and makes the point. However, one is not actually a zoomed in version of the other since I took two different parts of the coastline.

The next figure should then reveal that one is a zoom of the other, do you think if you zoom into this section and add additional detail beyond what google maps provides this could work?

Also, the second figure should include a simplified version of a scale bar for both A and B

updated in notion!

These look terrific! I'm excited about this new direction. Is the scale accurate? We should include units on it if we can. I'm happy to do the legwork of figuring it out if you want to point me towards the parts of the coastline you used as a basis.

re-assign to myself to check the scales

Hi @zee-em I found the spot that you traced! My overlay is not perfect but is this enough to go on for adding a scale in kilometers that is relatively accurate?

I can do the same for the other one or if you can extrapolate how zoomed in it is, then it can be scaled accordingly.

I'm happy to do more here to help make this easier just want to make sure I'm on the right track!

Also, I just noticed that the right side (B) of Figure 8.5 and 8.6 do not match. I assume the 8.6 is the correct one and can be copied into 8.5?

Also a reminder that the text between figures 8.5 and 8.6 has [TBD] placeholders still.

replace top right b with bottom right b

shiffman commented 9 months ago

I will take the next step to try to mark it up with an approximate scale!

shiffman commented 8 months ago

Well, this was quite the approximation, but I used a ruler and calculator and this is what I came up with!

Zannah, I think the placement and design you had in yours is good. Hopefully you can use the length of these rectangles (which correspond to 300km on the left and 100km on the right to help). If you prefer them to be shorter we can make a 150km and a 50km one and cut them in half.

uploaded to notion, pls review

Amazing! It's just missing the layer with the gray "zoom" oval.

updated :)

shiffman commented 7 months ago

Ah, 8.5 is great now, but the grey bubble arrow should not be included in 8.4! Once that is removed they are all set!!

zee-em commented 7 months ago

oh nooooo!

ok it's updated :)

shiffman commented 7 months ago

Yay! We got it now!
