Question
Answer
reason for leveling   the measurement process to determine height hight on maps ensures construction at correct gradient enables horizontal distance to be calaculate  
🗑
principles of leveling   uesd to measuer the difference in height between two points if the hight of one point is known the the hight of another can be determined  
🗑
level line   one that is at a constant height- realitive to the mean sea level and because it follows the mean surface it must be curved itself  
🗑
Datum   a level line is chosen to which the elevation of all points are related in the uk chosen datum is msl at newlyn cornwall  
🗑
Horizontal line   line tangential to the level line at any particular point. it is perpendicular to the direction of gravity at any point  
🗑
line of colimation   the line of site of the instrument  
🗑
reduced level   height of a point realitive to the chosen datum  
🗑
Benchmarks   reference marks or points, the reduced level of which have been accurately determined by levelling  
🗑
Ordnance Bench Marks (OBM)   established on Ordnance from datum at Newlyn, Cornwall  
🗑
Temporary Bench Marks   set up on stable points near construction sites where no OBM is found  
🗑
collimation error   due to the line of sight not being horizontal  
🗑
instrument set up midway between two points   due to curvature of the earth  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
