Total questions: 10

Worksheet time: 5mins

Class
Date
1.

A project team must (i) identify ridgelines/valleys, (ii) fix future road alignments, and (iii) set out centerlines on ground. Which sequence of survey classes best fits these stages?

a)

Cadastral → Preliminary → Reconnaissance

b)

Topographical → Preliminary → Location

c)

Geological → Reconnaissance → Preliminary

d)

Topographical → Reconnaissance → Location

2.

You’re asked to demarcate legal land boundaries for taxation with maximum clarity in ownership. Which object-based class is correct—and which instrument list is most typical?

a)

Cadastral; plane table & alidade only

b)

Cadastral; total station/EDM + tapes

c)

Topographical; aerial camera only

d)

Engineering; theodolite only

3.

A large mountainous corridor must be controlled with the fewest base measurements while allowing angle networks to propagate position. Best method employed?

a)

Traverse

b)

Triangulation

c)

Leveling

d)

Plane tabling

4.

For planning a new harbor, you must chart tidal ranges, currents, and seabed morphology; later you’ll produce shoreline maps. Which primary survey class dominates initially?

a)

Aerial survey

b)

Marine/Hydrographic survey

c)

Geological survey

d)

Astronomical survey

5.

Which pairing is conceptually incorrect about what it primarily measures?

a)

Theodolite → horizontal & vertical angles

b)

Tachometric survey → distance from stadia readings

c)

EDM → vertical angles

d)

Compass survey → magnetic bearings

6.

A mining company needs an underground plan of drifts/shafts with precise bearings and distances, then must legally register boundary parcels above ground. Which combination is most appropriate?

a)

Mine survey + Cadastral survey

b)

Topographical + Geological

c)

Hydrographic + Cadastral

d)

Astronomical + Traverse

7.

In dense urban streets with short visibilities and frequent obstructions, which method employed is generally more practical for forming a control framework?

a)

Triangulation (long intervisible sights)

b)

Traverse (series of connected lines)

c)

Astronomical (celestial fixes at night)

d)

Photographic (oblique)

8.

You must rapidly capture thousands of points with angles, distances, and auto-stored coordinates, then download for CAD/ BIM design. Which instrument class best fits?

a)

Plane table survey

b)

Compass survey

c)

Total station survey

d)

Theodolite survey (non-EDM)

9.

Which statement best distinguishes Topographical from Engineering survey when both may map roads and rivers?

a)

Topographical ignores man-made features

b)

Engineering focuses on quantities/design data for execution

c)

Engineering uses only aerial photos

d)

Topographical requires cadastral boundaries

10.

With GNSS widely available, when does Astronomical survey still provide unique value?

a)

Measuring short lot lines between compound walls

b)

Determining local time/azimuth/latitude for fundamental control in GNSS-denied contexts

c)

Profiling seabed with tides

d)

Capturing façade textures for 3D models
