GEOGRAPHY PRACTICAL : Ternary Diagram.
• PRINCIPLE :- In this Diagram tri- component data are plotted in the from of points. Each component is first expressed as a percentage and is arranged uniformly from 0 to 100% along the three sides of an equilateral triangle. Science the component values are plotted on the graph by a single point. The location on the point withing the triangle gives an immediate impression of the compositional character of the simple relating to a certain place.
• USE :- Ternary Diagram are extremely useful in taxonomic problems involving a large number of samples. The most commonly used data for this Diagram are Age composition of population ( young, adult, old). Occupational structure of population ( Primary, Secondary, Tertiary). textural composition of soil (sand,silt,clay). Composition of mass movement process (Flow,slide,heave) etc.
• DEMERITS :- Only three variables can be plotted on a ternary diagram.
