Q: Which of the following type of survey consists of horizontal and vertical location of certain point by linear and angular measurement and it made to determine the natural features of a country such as rivers, streams, lakes?
  • A. Hydrographic survey
  • B. Topographical survey
  • C. Cadastral survey
  • D. Astronomical survey
Correct Answer: Option B - Classification of survey– Topographical surveys– This consists of horizontal and vertical location of certain points by linear and angular measurements and is made to determine the natural features of a country such as rivers, streams, lakes, woods, hills etc and artificial features as roads, railways, canals, towns and villages. • The maps that show the detailed physical features of a particular place are called topographical maps. Engineering survey– This is undertaken for the determination of quantities or to afford sufficient data for the designing of engineering works such as roads and reservoirs or those connected with sewage disposal or water supply. Military survey– This is used for determining points of strategic importance. Mine survey–This is used for the exploring mineral wealth. Geological survey– This is used for determining different strata in the earth's crust
