Definition of convergence in English: convergence(also convergency) noun kənˈvəːdʒ(ə)nskənˈvərdʒəns mass noun1The process or state of converging. the convergence of lines in the distance Example sentencesExamples - These were brought together and placed in a linear narrative sequence in a process of historical convergence.
- At the same time, even the processes of weak convergence that we documented remain far from complete.
- The cats are arranged so they create patterns, like a kaleidoscope, forming mirror images of one another, folding and unfolding along lines of convergence.
- The literature laying out the case for convergence likewise deserves critical scrutiny, however.
- The researcher looks for patterns of convergence to develop or corroborate an overall interpretation.
- For what his data show is a powerful process of convergence, far from complete in extent but unequivocal in direction.
- At the same time, the advances that have made convergence possible are the products of individual creativity.
- Yet some critics equate convergence with a loss of jobs, heavier workloads for journalists, and monolithic news and opinion.
- A much more interesting question is how convergence impacts business models.
- It was also realised that globalisation is not a homogeneous process, but contains a striking paradox in that it brings about both convergence and divergence.
- This convergence has important implications for research and teaching in business schools.
- In short, different areas of Europe became involved in the processes of convergence and integration at very different times, and from very different backgrounds.
- The only real downside is that the process of convergence is likely to be messy.
- The convergence of politics, business, culture, law and higher education are its strengths.
- The other vantage seemed to be from some sort of map, and there were lines of convergence between many points that were marked in various colors.
- Constitutions demonstrate the processes of emulation and convergence.
- The convergence of communications processing is an issue.
- This move started the process of gradual convergence of the two earlier independent jobs - air navigation and bombing.
- Finally, some consistency and convergency is occurring in this arena, which allows for the repeatable specification of independent variables.
- Media convergence is indeed the wave of the future.
Synonyms junction, fork, branching, intersection, interchange, confluence, meeting point, crossing, criss-crossing, vertex, apex - 1.1Biology The tendency of unrelated animals and plants to evolve superficially similar characteristics under similar environmental conditions.
these bivalves have assumed similar characters by convergence Example sentencesExamples - Some of these similarities probably represent evolutionary convergence; others may be ancestral to plants and animals.
- Alternatively, the similarity in adaptive response is a matter of convergence.
- Third, is there evolutionary convergence in the types of amino acid substitutions that characterize adaptation to temperature?
- Such a discovery could also provide a compelling explanation for evolutionary convergence.
- So there is nothing in the mere fact of convergence that calls evolutionary theory into doubt.
- 1.2 A location where airflows or ocean currents meet, characteristically marked by upwelling (of air) or downwelling (of water).
Example sentencesExamples - Does the Inter-Tropical convergence zone move as it should?
- Another convergence zone is found along the continent's northwestern coast, where the Caribbean Plate also slides under the South American Plate, forming the northeastern extension of the Andes.
- The assumption is that a strong convergence zone appeared in the skies above central Namibia which was the cause of the downpours of the last two weeks.
- The area where this is going on is called the Intertropical convergence zone.
- The low-density surface water moved shoreward over the upwelled water, forming a convergence zone at the front.
Synonyms coming together, confluence, conjunction, union, junction, abutment, concourse, intersection, t-junction, crossing
