mapping and surveying

Mapping and surveying are processes used to understand and represent the physical world. Surveying involves measuring land and features accurately, often using tools like GPS and theodolites, to create precise land layouts and boundaries. Mapping takes this information and transforms it into visual representations, such as maps, that show locations, distances, and terrains. These practices are essential for urban planning, construction, navigation, and environmental management, helping us make informed decisions about how we use and interact with our surroundings. Together, they play a crucial role in geography, engineering, and resource management.
