Q

When a series of connected lines forms a closed circuit, i.e. when the finishing point coincides with the starting point of a survey, it is called as

A

Closed Traverse

17
Q

When a sequence of connected lines extends along a general direction and does not return to the starting point, it is known as

It is suited for roads

A

Open traverse

18
Q

It is defined as taking a general view of, by observation and measurement determining the boundaries, size, position, quantity, condition, value etc. of land, estates, building, farms mines etc. and finally presenting the survey data in a suitable form.

A

Surveying

19
Q

It is the act of making measurement of the relative position of natural and manmade features on earth’s surface and the presentation of this information either graphically or numerically.

A

Surveying

20
Q

The process or stages of surveying

A

Taking a General View
Observation and Measurement
Presentation of Data

21
Q

Types of Surveying

A

Plane Surveying
Geodetic Surveying

22
Q

A type of surveying where the mean surface of the earth is considered as plane

A

Plane Surveying

23
Q

It is the branch of surveying which takes into account the true shape of the earth (spheroid)

A

Geodetic Surveying

24
Q

Classification based on the surface and the area surveyed

A

Land Survey
Marine or Hydrographic Survey
Astronomical Survey

25
Q

Are done for the objects on the surface of the earth

A

Land Survey

26
Q

Land Survey can be subdivided into

A

Topographic Survey
Cadastral Survey
Engineering Survey
City Survey

27
Q

This is for depicting the hills, valleys, mountains, rivers

A

Topographic Survey

28
Q

It is used to determine property boundaries (fields, houses, plots of land)

A

Cadastral Survey

29
Q

It is used to acquire the required data for the planning, design and Execution of engineering projects like roads, bridges, canals, dams, railways, buildings, etc.

A

Engineering Survey

30
Q

The surveys involving the construction and development of towns including roads, drainage, water supply, sewage street network, etc, are generally referred to as city survey.

A

City Survey

31
Q

Those are surveys of large water bodies for navigation, tidal monitoring, the construction of harbours etc.

A

Marine or Hydrographic Survey

32
Q

It uses the observations of the heavenly bodies (sun, moon, stars etc) to fix the absolute locations of places on the surface of the earth.

A

Astronomical Survey
