Explanation part

1.C
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.
2.b
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.
3.d
Determining the unearthing relics of antiquity is an archaeological survey. Determining different
strata in the earth’s crust is the geological survey.
