The system is a rectangular grid with the (3.2 ...) running parallel to the equator. & The (3.3 ...) runs from north to south. The system consists of belts (3.4 ...) of longitude wide. Each belt consists of one (3.5 ...) meridian which is an (3.6 ...) meridian and two (3.7 .) meridians which are (3.8 ...) meridians. The (3.9 ...) is positive west and negative east of the central meridian.

Choose the answer and write only ‘True’ or ‘False’ next to the question number (1.1-1.10) in the ANSWER BOOK. 14 The word ‘field’ can be taken to indicate open country or underground surveying. It also refers to practical work outside the office. 1.2 Observation means sighting and noting. It involves reading measurements on instruments with the necessary accuracy and recording them in the field note D beck 1.3 Natural features refer to rivers, hills, lakes, and areas of land on the earth's ‘surface, 1.4 Artificial features refer to roads, bridges, boundaries, and engineering and mining structures. 1.5 Representation refers to a map or a plan that represents, to scale, lines and features on a plane surface. 1.6 To set out means to transfer points from a plan and pegging them out on the ground. 1.7 Closed traverse is used when surveying along a river, for example. 1.8 Open traverse is used in the survey of boundary lines. 1.9 Levelling refers to determining the relative elevation of points by using a dumpy level and staff. 14.10 Aprime meridian serves as the starting point for longitude measurement.
