What is define traverse?

Traverse refers to a method used in surveying and construction to determine the horizontal and vertical locations of points on the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, bearings, and elevations of points in a sequence or chain to determine the final position of a point. The process begins with establishing a reference point and then measuring the direction and distance to the next point in the chain. The process continues until all points have been surveyed and the final position is determined. Traverse is used in a variety of applications, including highway construction, pipeline surveying, and property boundary identification. It is an important part of surveying and engineering projects as it helps to ensure accurate and precise measurements of points on the earth's surface.
