Introduction survey

Determining the relative positions of points on above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements of distance and direction and elevation is called as _________

• Levelling

• Measuring

• Surveying

• Contouring

Answer explanation

Surveying is defined as determining the relative positions of points above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements of distance and direction and elevation.

Finding the elevations of a point with respect to a given or assumed and establish points given elevation or at different elevations with respect to given or assumed datum is ________

• Bearing

• Levelling

• Surveying

• Contouring

Answer explanation

Finding the elevations of a point with respect to a given or assumed and establish points given elevation or at different elevations with respect to given or assumed dactum is levelling.

Type of surveying in which the mean surface of the earth is considered as a plane and the spheroidal shape is neglected called as ______

• Plane Surveying

• Geodetic Surveying

• Topographic Surveying

• Hydrographic Surveying

Answer explanation

Type of surveying in which the mean surface of the earth is considered as a plane and the spheroidal shape is neglected is plane surveying.

Type of surveying in which the shape of the earth taken into account is __________

• Plane Surveying

• Geodetic Surveying

• Topographic Surveying

• Hydrographic Surveying

Answer explanation

Type of surveying in which the shape of the earth taken into account is geodetic surveying. The survey which deals with bodies of water for purpose of navigation, water supply, harbor works or for the determination of mean sea level is hydrographic surveying.

Determining the absolute location of any point or the absolute location and direction of any line on the surface of the earth is called _______

• Cadastral Surveying

• Topographic Surveying

• Astronomical Surveying

• Hydrographic Surveying

Answer explanation

Determining the absolute location of any point or the absolute location and direction of any line on the surface of the earth is astronomical surveying.

In which surveying, shape of earth is taken into consideration?

• Plane surveying

• Geodetic surveying

• Geological surveying

• Topographic surveying

Answer explanation

In Geodic surveying, shape of the earth is considered for carrying out high precise work. In case of Plane surveying, spheroid shape is neglected and entire area is considered in the form of triangles. Topographic surveying consists of vertical and horizontal locations of points whereas Geological surveying determines earth’s strata.

Representing large scale on the surface of the earth is____________

• Map

• Area

• Plan

• Scale

Answer explanation

For any representation, if it consists large scale then it represents plan and for small scale it represents map.

Which of the following is made in connection with the construction of streets, water supply systems, and sewers?

• Utility surveying

• Traverse surveying

• Cadastral surveying

• Hydrographic surveying

Answer explanation

Utility surveying is made in connection with the construction of streets, water supply systems and sewers. A survey which deals with bodies of water for the purpose of navigation, water supply, harbor works or for the determination of mean sea level is hydrographic surveying.

Determining quantities or afford sufficient data for the designing of works such as roads and reservoirs is called _______

• Utility surveying

• Cadastral surveying

• Topographic surveying

• Engineering surveying

Answer explanation

Determining quantities or afford sufficient data for the designing of works such as roads and reservoirs is engineering surveying. Utility surveying is made in connection with the construction of streets, water supply systems and sewers.

~ to measure the depth and bottom configuration of water bodies

~ Purpose: to define shoreline and underwater features

~ outcome: nautical chart and bathymetric chart

Above statement for _______________

• Engineering survey

• Cadastral survey

• Topography survey

• Hydrographic survey
