What is geomatics? ANSWER: Encompasses many areas of practices of surveying using newer technology What is Geodetic surveying? ANSWER: Surveying that considers earth to be a curved surface What is Plane surveying? ANSWER: Surveying that assumes the earth to be a flat surface What is Topographic surveying ANSWER: Determines the location of natural and artificial features and elevations used in map making What are Land / Boundary / Cadastral surveying? ANSWER: Establishes prop...
