What Does median Mean
Camellón is a term derived from camel that is used to refer to what is reminiscent of that animal. The first meaning of the concept mentioned by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) in its dictionary refers to a ridge .
A median or ridge is a ridge or mound that is used to divide, contain or direct something . In some countries, the island is called a median or median that is installed in the middle of a street, an avenue or a highway to establish a physical separation between the different directions of traffic .
Thanks to a median, in this way, there is an obstacle that prevents passing into the lane in the opposite direction. The ridges are the space that separates the directions of circulation, being able to have ornamental elements such as trees and flowers.
In the field of agriculture , the median is a system used with the aim of preparing the soil for the development of crops. It is a resource that arose in pre-Columbian times in the territory where countries such as Bolivia , Peru , Ecuador and Colombia are currently developing .
The ridges involved the excavation of channels that interconnected with each other. The land obtained with this work was used to generate a raised surface for cultivation : thus, from the canals, the water rose to these surfaces or beds thanks to capillarity, causing the roots of the plants to be oriented downwards. .
This arrangement of the soil arose in floodplains. Camels were common in the Lake Titicaca area , for example.
The RAE , on the other hand, indicates that camellón is synonymous with camelote : a waterproof fabric , usually made of wool. The camellón or camelote is a traditional cloth of Turkey that, in this region, is made with goat hair.
