Static geometry, as opposed to other forms of geometry, is limited to the study of objects in a resting state. For an object to at rest, it must be in a stationary position for an extended period and must not be subjected to movement or manipulation either of its own accord or through the process of exterior manipulation in any way.
Unlike other geometric classifications, such as dynamic geometry, dynamic geometry relates to the study of object that are or have the potential to become stationary. The study of an object that is not at rest or has the ability to move freely about cannot fall under an accurate classification as static geometry. In addition to being stationary, the object of study must be free of the risk or potential for future change.
Examples of static geometry include any object destined to remain stationary without the ability to increase or decrease in size, shape or length. Objects such as multi-ton boulders that have remained in place for hundreds or thousands of years are examples of items you can study under the concept of static geometry, as they are at rest, are typically not subject to change in regard to expansion and are not subject to movement on their own.
A variety of experts use static geometry in the course of their work. You can use static geometry whenever you have a need to determine the distance between two points at rest. Professionals such as geologists use static geometry to document and determine the history of objects whenever findings are unearthed as a means of determining the object's age and origin, as well as how it came to rest.
