4.1 Define the following leveling terms
a) Vertical control; A series of benchmarks or other point of known elevation established
throughout an area. Vertical control is usually carried out by direct leveling.
b) Elevation; The distance along a vertical line from a vertical datum to a point or object.
The elevation of a geographic location is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most
commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential
gravitational surface
c) Vertical datum; Any level surface to which elevations are referenced A vertical datum is a base
measurement point (or set of points) from which all elevations are determined. Without a
common datum, surveyors would calculate different elevation values for the same location.
4.2 How far will a horizontal line depart from the earths in 1km? 5km and 10kms
(apply both curvature and refractions)
1km? Cm = 0.0675(1)
2
= 0.068 m
5km = Cm = 0.0675(5)
2
= 1.68 8m
10kms = Cm = 0.0675(10)
2
= 6.750 m
4.2 Visit the website of the national geodetic survey at http://www.ngs.noaa.gov and obtain a
data sheet description of benchmark of your local area
