horizon

Examples of horizon in the following topics:

• Physical Properties of Soil

  • Soils are made up of combinations of four distinct layer types or horizons: O horizon, A horizon, B horizon, and C horizon.
  • Soils are named and classified based on their horizons .
  • Beneath the C horizon lies bedrock.
  • This soil profile shows the different soil layers (O horizon, A horizon, B horizon, and C horizon) found in typical soils.
  • The San Joaquin soil is a mature soil that has an O horizon, A horizon, B horizon, and C horizon.

• Risk Adjusting for the Time Horizon

  • In other words, default risk increases as the time horizon lengthens.
  • For example, an individual investor with a time horizon of less than five years should not be invested in stocks.
  • However, those with time horizons over five years should consider stocks because of their growth potential.
  • Put simply, as time horizon lengthens a higher percentages of stocks should be added to a portfolio.
  • For an individual, diversifying investments in different time horizons is also important.

• Linear Perspective

  • Perspective drawings always have a horizon line, which can or can not be implied.
  • It is analogous to (and named after) the earth's horizon.
  • A drawing has one-point perspective when it contains only one vanishing point on the horizon line.
  • A drawing has two-point perspective when it contains two vanishing points on the horizon line .
  • In an illustration, these vanishing points can be placed arbitrarily along the horizon.

• Measuring and Managing Risk

  • Time is a component of risk for varying reasons; however, the two most common are related to the increase in general uncertainty rising with the time horizon and reinvestment risk.
  • In our everyday lives, we are faced with momentary uncertainties that become increasingly harder to predict as we move from a five minute horizon to a five day, five month, or even five year period.
  • Another aspect of time horizon is reinvestment risk.

• Petroleum Biodegradation

  • In the clean up of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, genetically modified microorganisms were used, but some scientists suspect they might have caused health issues for people in the affected areas.

• Soil Formation

  • Within the soil profile, soil scientists define zones called horizons: a soil layer with distinct physical and chemical properties that differ from those of other layers.
  • The soil profile contains defined zones called horizons whicht have distinct physical and chemical properties that differ from those of other layers.
