Across
- 1. The process of determining the straight-line distance between two points, often using specialized equipment.
- 3. A device used to establish or check points in the same horizontal plane, often used for measuring height differences.
- 6. A line or marker that defines the limits of a property or area of land.
- 8. A precision instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles on the land.
- 9. A line on a map that connects points of equal elevation, showing the shape and elevation of the land.
- 11. The process of marking the ground with stakes to show where construction or land features should be located according to survey plans.
- 12. A device that uses signals from satellites to determine precise geographic locations on the earth’s surface.
Down
- 2. An electronic surveying instrument that combines a theodolite with an electronic distance meter (EDM) to measure angles and distances.
- 4. The height of a point above a specific reference level, usually sea level.
- 5. A three-legged stand that provides stable support for surveying instruments like the theodolite or total station.
- 7. A fixed reference point of known elevation used as a starting point for surveys.
- 10. A method of surveying in which a series of connected lines are measured and the angles between them are recorded.
