Define and attach the picture of the following:

Land Survey
A land survey, or simply survey, is the scientific process of measuring
the dimensions of a particular area of the earth's surface, including its
horizontal distances, directions, angles, and elevations. Artificial
structures, such as a road or building, may also be noted on a survey.
Once these measurements are taken, they can be used to make a map
or even a globe. However, not all surveys are the same, so let's take a
look at three major types.

Topographic Survey

 A topographic survey includes measurements of the vertical

elevation of the surface being surveyed as well as the artificial
structures on it. Topographic surveys are widely used by
governments and businesses engaging in construction. For example,
Terry may conduct a topographical survey of land just annexed by a
city which plans to build roads and other infrastructure for economic
development.

Route Survey
A Route Survey is defined as being the required service and product
that adequately locates the planned path of a linear project or right of
way which crosses a prescribed area of real estate, extending from at
least one known point and turning or terminating at another known
point.

Engineering Survey
Engineering surveying involves determining the position of natural and
man-made features on or beneath the Earth's surface and utilizing these
features in the planning, design and construction of works. It is a
critical part of any engineering project.
Hydrographic Survey

Hydrographic surveying is an important civil engineering service

that determines the physical features of an underwater area. Like
topographic or land surveys, these surveys use special equipment
to measure and define a body of water to support marine
construction.

Control Survey
Control surveys establish a common, consistent network of
physical points that are the basis for controlling the horizontal and
vertical positions of transportation improvement projects and
facilities.

2. What is the importance of Surveying?.

Surveying measurements serve as the foundation for the planning and design of all civil engineering projects,
including the building of roads, bridges, tunnels, dams, and more. Also, a project of any size is built along the
lines and points determined by surveying during execution.
