1.2 Explain the difference between geodetic and plane surveys.
From Section 1.4:
In geodetic surveys the curved surface of the earth is considered by performing the
computations on an ellipsoid (curve surface approximating the size and shape of the
earth). In plane surveys, except for leveling, the reference base for fieldwork and
computations is assumed to be a flat horizontal surface. The direction of a plumb line
(and thus gravity) is considered parallel throughout the survey region, and all measured
angles are presumed to be plane angles.
1.3 Describe some surveying applications in:
(a) Archeology
There are many different uses of surveying in archeology. Some include using sonar
to identify possible underground or underwater archeology sites, LiDAR to help
identify possible ancient human settlements in unexplored forest and jungles, and
traditional surveying and laser scanning to help locate artifacts in site excavations.
(b) Gas exploration
There are several stages of surveying in gas exploration, which include but are not
limited to determining anomalies in the gravity field, which identify possible gas
deposits, boundary surveys identifying properties that have mineral rights to the gas
deposits, alignment surveys for placement of pipelines to transport extracted gas.
(c) Agriculture
, In agriculture, surveying is used to determine the acreage of fields, to locate lines of
constant elevation for strip farming, to track harvesting machinery to enable the size
of the harvest, and to track the position of the planting equipment to allow for precise
applications of seeds and fertilizers. The field is known as high-precision agriculture.
1.4 List some application of surveying in geology, forestry, and archeology.
Applications in each are multiple. For some in geology and archeology see the answer to
Problem 1.3 (a) and (b). Some uses of surveying in forestry identifying forest boundaries,
locating spread of diseases and insects through remote sensing, using GIS to help
inventory and keep records on resources in forested regions.

1.5 Why is it important to make accurate surveys of underground utilities?
To provide an accurate record of the locations of these utilities so they can be found if
repairs or servicing is needed, and to prevent their accidental destruction during
excavation for other projects.
1.6 Discuss the uses for topographic surveys.
Topographic surveys are used whenever elevation data is required in the end product.
Some examples include (1) creating maps for highway design; (2) creating maps for
construction surveys; (3) creating maps for flood plain delineation; (4) creating maps for
site location of buildings; and so on.
1.7 What are hydrographic surveys, and why are they important?
From Section 1.6, hydrographic surveys define shorelines and depths of lakes, streams,
oceans, reservoirs, and other bodies of water. Sea surveying is associated with port and
offshore industries and the marine environment, including measurements and marine
investigations made by ship borne personnel.

From Section 1.3, paragraph 8 of text: His procedure, which occurred about 200 B.C., is
illustrated in Figure 1.3. Eratosthenes had concluded that the Egyptian cities of
Alexandria and Syene were located approximately on the same meridian, and he had also
observed that at noon on the summer solstice, the sun was directly overhead at Syene.
(This was apparent because at that time of that day, the image of the sun could be seen
reflecting from the bottom of a deep vertical well there.) He reasoned that at that moment,
the sun, Syene, and Alexandria were in a common meridian plane, and if he could
