Primary divisions of surveying are: Plane Surveying Geodetic Surveying Plane Surveying Geodetic Surveying The surveying in which earth surface is considered as plane surface. The surveying in which curvature/surface of the the earth is considered as curved surface. Earth’s curvature is ignored. Earth’s curvature is considered. The line joining any...
