Expert Solution

Step 1

a) Topographic survey:-

A topographic survey is exactly what it sounds like: a fieldwork reconnaissance that identifies topographic characteristics in any particular region. Depending on the circumstances, it may be quite specific or only focus on the broad correction. Irrespective of the goal, the primary utility of topographic surveys, apart from charting, is locating yourself in relation to the local environment.

The equipment required to carry out any topographical survey may come into distinct categories in line with the user's final goals. Different topographical surveys might incorporate a variety of analog and digital gathering methods.
