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.
