Shapes Chart | guruparents

Teaching your child about shapes is important because it can greatly improve their ability to communicate – it helps your child verbally describe objects and also with their ability to draw.

The Basic Chart

The basic shapes chart contains the most common shapes that your child will encounter – square, rectangle, circle, oval, triangle and diamond. These shapes are also the simplest for your child to draw.

This chart is designed for use by children who are only just learning their shapes.

One of the first things your child will learn to draw is a face, so you can incorporate the teaching of simple circles and ovals into this early drawing. Later as your child starts to draw stick figures, you can use the other shapes for body parts.

View the Basic Shapes Chart as a free and printable chart.

The Advanced Shapes Chart

The advanced shapes chart contains 16 shapes from the basic shapes through to some complex shapes such as trapezoids and parallelograms.

This chart features shapes that your child is bound to encounter at home, in books, toys, educational shows, crafts and activities.

If your child is ready for more challenging shapes you can try our 3D (three dimensional) shapes chart.

There are some great activities you can do to teach shapes with the chart including:

• After reciting the names of all the shapes, point to a shape and have your child tell you what shape it is. Then you call out the name of a shape and have your child point it out on the chart.
• Use the chart to spot shapes in your child’s room – for example, the door is a rectangle, the window is a square, the door knob is a circle, roof of a doll house contains a triangle and so forth.
• Have your children make the shapes out of playdoh and place the shapes on top of the chart.
• Have your child sort shapes into groups. Print out multiple copies of the chart and cut out the different shapes. Printing in black and white will allow your child to sort by shape rather than color.
• Have your child practice drawing each of the shapes – start by having the child trace the shapes and then move to drawing them freehand.

10 main types of clouds depending on their height

The World Meteorological Organization recognizes over a hundred different types of clouds. They can, however, be sorted into one of 10 genera (basic types) based on their general shape and the height where they appear.

The standard basis on which various clouds are classified and named is called Luke Howard nomenclature, which was originally proposed by Luke Howard, a British chemist, back in 1802. A method based on their convective activity sorts the clouds into five groups and cross-classifies them with three altitude levels.

• Low: clouds below 1981 m,
• Medium: Clouds found between 1981 and 696 m and
• High level: clouds that form above 6096 meters above sea level

You should also know that each genus can be subdivided into species and then further into varieties.

Low level clouds

10. Stratus clouds

Stratus clouds are mostly flat, featureless and greyish in appearance. These clouds form slightly above the ground at a lower altitude, either as cooler air subsides or morning fog rises over the region. They are also known as "high fog" clouds.

What they can tell you

The formation of stratus usually indicates prolonged cloud cover with light rain and some snowfall. These clouds are much more stable in anticyclonic conditions. While some rain may fall, this cloud does not indicate much meteorological activity.

9. Cumulus clouds

We have all been familiar with cumulus clouds in early childhood. The puffy or fluffy look of cumulus clouds was what the word "cloud" represented, wasn't it?

Cumulus usually forms on clear days below 2000 meters above sea level. They have well-defined edges and appear either in clusters or in grids.

What they can tell you

Although cumulus clouds are not strongly associated with precipitation, weather factors such as humidity and temperature gradients can cause them to quickly turn into cumulonimbus clouds, resulting in heavy rain and thunderstorms.

8. Stratocumulus

Stratocumulus is basically a larger, less smooth version of cumulus. They are usually found in large areas below 2000 m above sea level. Stratocumulus clouds are quite common in subtropical and polar regions.

What they can tell you

Stratocumulus clouds often result in only light rain or snow. Interestingly, however, they almost always appear before or after extreme weather events such as thunderstorms and gusts of wind.

In addition, these clouds are responsible for twilight rays, solar rays, or split light that shines through the clouds during daytime. They can also cause the corona effect we sometimes see around the Moon at night.

7. Cumulonimbus clouds

Cumulonimbus clouds, also known as towering vertical cumulonimbus clouds, are large and dense clouds formed by powerful rising air currents. Cumulonimbus clouds are very similar to the cumulus clouds they actually come from, except they form a tall figure.

A typical cumulonimbus cloud may range from low to medium altitude and, in exceptional cases, to high altitude. Typically, these clouds have an anvil of the upper layer and a dark base.

What they can tell you

Cumulonimbus clouds are a clear sign of imminent extreme weather. They can cause strong lightning, flash floods, and are also capable of causing tornadoes.

Mid-level clouds

6. Nimbostratus clouds (lat. Nimbostratus)

Nimbostratus is a dark and mostly shapeless cloud that originates at medium altitudes and extends vertically to low and high levels. They can be found anywhere below 3000 meters above sea level.

What they can tell you

Nimbostratus clouds are a sign of possible moderate but persistent rain brought by a warm front. They, unlike cumulonimbus clouds, do not usually produce thunderstorms, but due to the instability of warm fronts, thunderstorms are possible.

5. Altostratus clouds (lat.

Altostratus is characterized as a cloud with uniform grayish layers, consisting mainly of ice crystals. In addition, they are faceless. Altostratus clouds are much lighter in color than nimbostratus clouds.

Condensation of water vapor from a large stable air mass when they reach medium heights results in the formation of these clouds. They often spread over a large part of the sky, and their thickness can vary.

What they can tell you

Altostratus clouds can cause rain, usually when it thickens. In most cases, it starts as a light downpour and then gradually develops into moderate rain. They are reclassified as nimbostratus once the rain has become more consistent.

4. Altocumulus (lat. Altocumulus)

Altocumulus is perhaps the most common type of cloud in mid-latitudes. They are distinguished by closely spaced gray or white spots.

It is often difficult to distinguish altocumulus from stratocumulus because they are nearly identical (altocumulus has a much smaller individual mound than stratocumulus).

What they can tell you

Altocumulus clouds are usually accompanied by thunderstorms, although they are not associated with rain. Due to their instability, altocumulus clouds are recognized as one of the most potentially dangerous clouds for aviation.

High level clouds

3. Cirrus clouds

Cirrus clouds are easily recognizable by their thin, feather-like strands. They usually form above 5,500 meters, and in extreme cases - 13,000 meters above sea level.

Instead of water vapor, cirrus clouds are composed of thin ice (above 5500 m, water vapor precipitates).

They make a significant contribution to the greenhouse effect on Earth. While cirrus clouds reflect only a small fraction of the incoming solar radiation, they block about half of the outgoing infrared radiation from the planet's atmosphere.

What they can tell you

Extensive cirrus cloud coverage enough to indicate upper atmospheric turbulence and possible cyclone formation in the region.

Back in the late 1800s, meteorologists used to watch these clouds to predict hurricanes. A similar hurricane forecasting system was developed by Benito Viñes, president of Belen College in Havana, Cuba, in 1870.

2. Cirrostratus clouds (lat. Cirrostratus)

Cirrostratus clouds are thin, uniform and translucent clouds that are extremely difficult to recognize. These clouds usually have halos, ring-like features surrounding the Sun and/or the Moon. The halo is caused by the refraction of light on the ice crystals present in the cloud.

What they can tell you

Typically, cirrus clouds signal the approach of a warm front to a region and bring precipitation along with it. These clouds, when formed over the polar regions, can carry nitric acid.

1. Cirrocumulus (lat. Cirrocumulus)

Cirrocumulus are small and patchy white clouds that usually appear between 4,800 and 11,800 meters above sea level.

Unlike the other two major high altitude cloud types, Cirrostratus and Cirrus, Cirrocumulus clouds contain small amounts of supercooled liquid water rather than ice.

What they can tell you

Infrequently, cirrocumulus clouds lead to precipitation. But in some cases, when they appear with cirrus or cirrus clouds, rain is possible.

The main forms of state government are social studies

In social studies classes, schoolchildren learn many topics that are related to state foundations. We will consider one of them in this material: the form of government.

Definition of the form of government

Before we know what forms of government there are, let's look at the basic definitions from the school social studies curriculum.

The form of the state is a device of the political organization of society, designed to ensure its stability and normal functioning.

The state has three dimensions that determine its essence: the form of government, the type of government and the type of political regime.

The form of government is an element of the form of the state, which determines the system of organization of the highest bodies of state power, the procedure for their formation, terms of operation and competence, as well as the procedure for the interaction of these bodies with each other and with the population and the degree of participation of the population in their formation.

• In a narrow sense, this is the organization of the highest bodies of state power (a way of organizing the supreme power in the state).
• In a broad sense, it is a way of organizing and interacting with all state bodies.

Forms of power show:

• how the highest authorities in the state are created,
• their structure,
• what principles underlie the interaction between state bodies,
• how the relationship between the supreme power and ordinary citizens is built,
• to what extent the organization of state bodies allows ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens.

In the modern world, each state is distinguished by a set of specific features and characteristics that have developed in the process of its historical evolution, under the influence of natural factors, features of socio-economic development, religion, etc.

- monarchy and republic. Consider these types of government.

Monarchy

Monarchy is a form of government in which the supreme state power belongs to one person - the monarch (king, tsar, emperor, sultan, emir) and is usually inherited.

Monarchy is one of the most ancient forms of government. The earliest form of monarchy was despotism . Under despotism, all supreme state power is concentrated in the hands of an absolute ruler or a narrow group of persons who have the right to freely decide the fate of their subjects. The classical despotisms were the states of the Ancient East: Ancient Egypt, India, China, Assyria, Babylon, Persia. Also despotic was the power in the Golden Horde, the Mughal state in India and the Ottoman Empire.

In parallel, theocratic ideas about the nature of the monarchy were developing. AT of the theocratic tradition the ruler (monarch) was conceived as a living god or god's vicegerent. At various times, elements of the theocratic monarchy could be found in Ancient Egypt, China, ancient Greece (Alexander the Great), the Roman Empire (starting with the Augustan dynasty). A later form of theocracy is the authority of the Pope.

Both the Byzantine autocracy and the Muscovite autocracy relied on the theocratic tradition. Autocracy arose in Russia in connection with the adoption by the Grand Duke Ivan III of the title "Sovereign of All Russia" after his marriage to the niece of the last Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI, Sophia Paleolog. And with the acquisition of complete independence from the khans of the Golden Horde, Ivan III in diplomatic correspondence with the heads of other states begins to call himself a king and autocrat.

At the turn of the XVI-XVII centuries. in Europe there was an idea of ​​ absolute monarchy , which was understood as such a form of government in which legally and in fact all the fullness of the state (legislative, executive, judicial), and sometimes spiritual (religious) power was concentrated in the hands of the monarch, who was recognized the right best to understand these issues. A classic example of the absolute monarchy of the time: France under Louis XIV (the "Sun King").

Next came the idea of an enlightened monarchy , or enlightened absolutism. The theory of enlightened absolutism consisted in the idea of ​​a secular state, that is, in the desire to put the central power above all else. Enlightened absolutism introduced a new understanding of the state, which imposed obligations on the state power, enjoying rights. That is, the monarch began to be understood not just as the sole ruler of the state, but as the most educated representative of his country, who must comprehensively take care of the welfare of his subjects and the prosperity of his state.

Modern monarchies are divided into two types - absolute and constitutional.

Absolute monarchies are distinguished by the omnipotence of the head of state, not limited by constitutional institutions. The monarch combines the functions of head of state and government, commander in chief of the armed forces and supreme judge. He also appoints the government and other authorities that are responsible only to him as the head of state, and in some cases there is no parliament at all or is only an advisory body to the ruler (king, king, etc.). In rare cases, the monarch also performs the functions of the spiritual head. Examples of modern absolute monarchies: Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), partly the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Vatican.

In constitutional monarchies the powers of the head of state are strictly limited. The real legislative power in such a state belongs to the parliament, and the executive - to the government. According to the degree of limitation, constitutional monarchies are dualistic and parliamentary.

Dual Monarchy is a constitutional monarchy in which the power of the monarch is limited by the constitution, but the monarch formally and effectively retains extensive power. He has the right to appoint and dismiss the cabinet of ministers, absolute or suspensive veto over parliamentary decisions, and also performs a number of representative and foreign policy functions. Examples: Jordan, Morocco, Swaziland, partly the kingdom of Bhutan, where there are also features of an absolute monarchy.

Parliamentary Monarchy is a constitutional monarchy in which the monarch functions nominally. Under a parliamentary monarchy, the power of the monarch does not extend to the sphere of legislative activity and is significantly limited in the sphere of government. Laws are adopted by the parliament, which has the formal supremacy among other organs of the state. He appoints the government, which is responsible to him. In some cases (in the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, etc.), the monarch retains certain powers, such as the right to veto legislative acts of parliament, but in practice it has not been used anywhere for a long time. In fact, the monarch performs purely representative functions.

Examples: all European monarchies except Liechtenstein and the Vatican. The most famous are Great Britain, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, etc. In Asia - Bahrain, Cambodia, Kuwait, Thailand, Japan and, with some reservations, Malaysia. In Africa, Lesotho.

Types of monarchies	Key Features
Absolute (unlimited)	All branches of power - judicial, legislative and executive - are in the hands of one person: the king, sultan, shah, emperor, king, etc. Power is inherited by right of blood. Most often there is a strict regulation of inheritance, in order to avoid strife between applicants. The heyday of absolute monarchies fell on the period of slavery and feudalism. Today, absolute monarchy has been preserved in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, etc.
Constitutional	The power of one person is limited by the law of the state, most often by the Constitution. This type of monarchy is divided into dualistic and parliamentary.
Dualistic	The monarch is at the head of the executive branch and can influence judicial decisions and lawmaking. In parallel with the monarchy, the state often has relatively independent judiciary and legislature. The monarch has the right to dissolve the parliament, or veto the adopted laws. Today it exists in Jordan and Morocco.
Parliamentary	The monarch is partly a formal symbol of the state, a tribute to tradition. The main power belongs to the bodies elected by the people (parliament). In states with this form of government, the principle of separation of powers is respected. Sometimes the monarch can veto or resolve certain laws, but he does not have real power. This form of government is represented today in Japan, Denmark, Great Britain.

Republic

Republic - a form of state government in which the supreme power is exercised by elected bodies that are elected by the population (or state bodies) for a certain period.

There are two main forms of republic: presidential and parliamentary. There are also mixed (semi-presidential) republics.

Presidential republic — the president is endowed with great power: he combines the functions of head of state and head of government, forms the government. The president is elected by all citizens through direct voting (for example, the United States, Latin American countries).

Parliamentary republic - the leading body of power is the parliament elected by the citizens. It is the parliament that forms the government, which is obliged to report to it (for example, India, Italy, Germany, Switzerland).

Mixed republic - the power of the president is significant, but the formation of the government takes place with the participation of the parliament (example - Austria, Russia, France).

Main types of republics and their attributes

Reference lines	Presidential	Semi-presidential (mixed)	Parliamentary
