Topography
Topography is the science that studies all geographic features defining their location and location on Earth. It is also the study of the principles and methods necessary for the description and representation of the surfaces of these bodies, especially for their cartography. It has the importance of analytically determining the measurements of area and perimeter, location, orientation, variations in relief and still represent them graphically in charts (or plants) topographic.
Topography is also a fundamental instrument for the implementation and monitoring of works of all kinds, such as road projects, buildings, urbanizations (developments), land movements, etc.
