    Question

    Levelling in which staff and readings and the distance between the points is required is called:

    A.

    profile levelling

    B.

    fly levelling

    C.

    trigonometric levelling

    D.

    auto levelling

    Correct option is A

    Levelling:
     Levelling is the operation used (or required) to determine the relative heights of points on, above, or below the surface of the earth.
    Profile Levelling:
     It is a type of levelling done for the purpose of determining the elevations of the ground surface along a fixed line (such as roads, rails, rivers etc.).
     Profile levelling is also called longitudinal levelling.
     In this levelling, the observations (staff readings) are taken at regular intervals (at a constant horizontal distance) along the central line and foresight to a properly selected turning point.
    Fly Levelling:
     It is a type of differential levelling done for the purpose of determining the approximate elevation of different points.
     Fly levelling is done rapidly but with low precision.
    Auto Levelling:
     Automatic levelling (auto levelling) is a levelling that determines the difference in elevation of points with the help of a dumpy level or a builder's auto level.
     The equipment can be used for small scales such as residential building construction and large civil engineering projects.
    Trignometric Levelling:
     In this method of levelling in which the difference in elevations is determined indirectly from the horizontal distance and vertical angle.
     As the trigonometric relations are used to determine the elevations, the method is called trigonometric levelling.
