LESSON 1PRACTICE EXERCISEThe following items will test your grasp of the material covered in this lesson. There is only one correctanswer for each item. When you complete the exercise, check your answer with the answer key thatfollows. If you answer any item incorrectly, study again that part which contains the portion involved.1. In geodesy, the earth is defined, for mathematical purposes, as a(n)A. Oblate spheroidB. Spherical geoidC. SphereD. Ellipsoid of revolution2. Points on the ellipsoid are defined in terms of ________________________________.A. Astronomic latitudes <strong>and</strong> longitudesB. Gravity determinationC. Latitude <strong>and</strong> longitudeD. Astronomic azimuths3. The gravity potential on the geoid is ________________________________________________.A. Perpendicular to the ellipsoid of revolutionB. The same everywhereC. Parallel to the semiminor axisD. Equal to the centripetal force of the earth's rotation4. The angle formed when the ellipsoid <strong>and</strong> geoid intersect is equal to the ____________________.A. Normal to the ellipsoidB. Deflection of the verticalC. Normal to the geoidD. Geoid separation5. In <strong>geodetic</strong> <strong>surveying</strong>, the techniques used to determine precise points on the earth'ssurface are horizontal control techniques, vertical control techniques, <strong>and</strong>___________________________________________________________________________________.A.
