1. 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 _________
a) Surveying
b) Levelling
c) Measuring
d) Contouring
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.
2. 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 ________
a) Surveying
b) Levelling
c) Bearing
d) Contouring
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.
3. Type of surveying in which the mean surface of the earth is considered as a plane and the spheroidal shape is neglected called as ________
a) Topographic Surveying
b) Hydrographic Surveying
c) Geodetic Surveying
d) Plane Surveying
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.
4. Type of surveying in which the shape of the earth taken into account is __________
a) Topographic Surveying
b) Hydrographic Surveying
c) Geodetic Surveying
d) Plane Surveying
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.
5. Horizontal projection of an area and shows only horizontal distances of the points is __________
a) Contour lines
b) Levelling
c) Surveying
d) Plan
Explanation: Horizontal projection of an area and shows only horizontal distances of the points is plan or map. 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.
6. What type of surveys needs to fix the boundaries of municipalities and of state and federal jurisdictions?
a) Topographic Surveying
b) Hydrographic Surveying
c) Cadastral Surveying
d) City Surveying
Explanation: The surveys need to fix the boundaries of municipalities and of state and federal jurisdictions are cadastral surveying. 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.
7. Determining the absolute location of any point or the absolute location and direction of any line on the surface of the earth is called _______
a) Topographic Surveying
b) Astronomical Surveying
c) Cadastral Surveying
d) Hydrographic Surveying
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.
8. Determining different strata in the earth’s crust is called as_______
a) Mine Survey
b) Geological Survey
c) Geodetic Survey
d) Archaeological Survey
Explanation: Determining different strata in the earth’s crust is the Geological Survey. Type of surveying in which the shape of the earth taken into account is geodetic surveying.
9. Determining unearthing relics of antiquity is called as_______
a) Mine Survey
b) Geological Survey
c) Geodetic Survey
d) Archaeological Survey
Explanation: Determining the unearthing relics of antiquity is an archaeological survey. Determining different strata in the earth’s crust is the geological survey.
10. In which surveying, shape of earth is taken into consideration?
a) Plane surveying
b) Geodic surveying
c) Topographic surveying
d) Geological surveying
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.
