Best Answer

Crux is the Latin word from which we derive the English word cross, as in two beams of wood connected at an angle; or the letter X. We also get the English crotch from the same word.

Where can you find the Magellanic clouds?

The Small Magellanic Cloud circles around the South Celestial Pole almost opposite the Southern Cross (Crux), so you can use Crux to find it. Just follow the long line of Crux from the brightest star at the foot (α Crucis) for about six lengths of the cross - you'll see the SMC as a patch of light nearby if you're in a dark enough area. Once you've found the SMC, look about one hand-span towards Crux, and you should see a larger bar-shaped patch of light - the Large Magellanic Clouds. Because they're so close to the South Celestial Pole, the Magellanic Clouds can only be seen from the southern hemisphere.


How does Environmental Degradation affect development in Zimbabwe?

Standard measures of economic growth do not adequately reflect changes in aggregate welfare over time. Sustainable national income is therefore defined as Net National Product with adjustments for the degradation of renewable and non-renewable capital. Productivity loss rather than replacement cost is the most theoretically correct way to value resource depletion. Modified net product is estimated for the agriculture and forestry sectors of Zimbabwe by valuing the loss of forest stock and soil erosion. The results show that traditional measures overstate the value of the agricultural sector's product by approximately 10% in 1989. It is argued that indicators of sustainable national income do not ensure sustainable development; as with all macroeconomic indicators, they do not account for distributional and equity issues which are at the crux of sustainable development, nor do they point to mechanisms that would ensure sustainable resource management. Rising sustainable income over time is therefore a necessary but not sufficient condition for the achievement of sustainable development
