Surveying
  • 1. Surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the positions and features of the Earth's surface. It involves using various tools and techniques to determine distances, angles, and elevations, as well as creating accurate representations of land areas. Surveying plays a crucial role in various industries, including land development, construction, infrastructure planning, and environmental protection. Surveyors gather data to create detailed maps, monitor changes in land surfaces, and ensure that construction projects are built according to design specifications. Overall, surveying is essential for understanding and managing the physical environment around us.
