Question

Identification and geo-location of anthropogenic features in the x-y plane is called as:

• A. \(\text{Anthrometry} \)
• B. \(\text{Geo-anthrometry} \)
• C. \(\text{Planimetry} \)
• D. \(\text{Geo-planimetry} \)

Hint:

Planimetry focuses on 2D mapping of surface features, excluding elevation or relief.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding planimetry. - Planimetry refers to the measurement and mapping of features in a 2D plane (x-y coordinates), without considering elevation (z-axis).
Step 2: Explanation of incorrect options. - Anthrometry a.: Not a standard term in geospatial science. - Geo-anthrometry b.: Incorrect term; anthropometric studies are related to human body measurements. - Geo-planimetry d.: Not a widely used geospatial term.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option. Since planimetry deals with mapping features in x-y coordinates, the correct answer is c. Planimetry.
