1889Cent. Dict., Clinographic. 1910Encycl. Brit. VII. 573/2 Clinographic drawings are most frequently used for representing crystals. 1935J. Hanson-Lowe in Geol. Mag. LXXII. 181 The real need of the morphologist is a knowledge of the actual average gradients between any two available (and adjacent) contours. For this reason I suggest that a new curve, which may conveniently be called the clinographic curve, is of far greater use [than the hypsographic curve]. 1937Geogr. Jrnl. XC. 58 The district has been divided into four sub-regions and hypsographic and clinographic curves have been drawn for each. |
