Most surveying elevations start at 100 feet to avoid negative numbers when measuring slope.

A station in a survey may have a foresight and no backsight.

To get the station elevation, subtract the backsight from the height of instrument.

When completing field notes, column headings are not necessary, as all surveyors follow the same format.

To calculate the height of instrument, add the backsight measurement to the elevation.

The longer the distance of the traverse, the greater the allowable error.

Most surveys assume a starting benchmark elevation of 100 feet.

During a profile survey, there is never the need for a turning point because all of the readings may be taken from one level or transit location.

Which tools are commonly used to measure long distances when surveying?

In surveying, how should 6 inches be noted?

Who on a taping crew has the responsibility of taking the zero end of the tape and advancing in the direction of the line to be measured, pulling the tape behind?

The total distance covered in a leveling circuit is called a __________.

The maximum acceptable distance that a survey may be off in measurement after being closed-out on the benchmark i s known as:

The location of the leveling rod when the reading is geing taken is called a:

A permanent point of known or assumed elevation from which leveling surveys are started is called a:

A solid location, usually marked by a temporary stake, on which a foresight is taken, to which the instrument is moved, and from which a backsight is taken is a:

A level reading taken on a point of unknown elevation is a:

The process of determining the elevations of a series of points at measured intervals along a line.

A permanent point of known or assumed elevation from which a leveling survey is started.

The height of a point relative to the benchmark location of the survey.

The location of the leveling rod when the reading is being taken.

A level reading taken on a point of known or assumed elevation.

The elevation of the level line of sight with respect to the benchmark, as indicated by the cross hairs in the telescope.

A level reading taken on a point of unknown elevation.

A solid location, usually marked by a temporary stake, on which a foresight is taken, to which the instrument is moved, and from which a backsight is taken to determine a new height of instrument.

The measurement records for a survey.

The maximum acceptable distance that a survey may be off in measurement after being closed out on the benchmark.
