Geodetic surveying is a method used to accurately measure and represent the Earth's surface. It involves determining positions of points on the Earth's surface relative to one another using advanced techniques such as GPS and satellites. Geodetic surveys are essential for creating accurate maps, monitoring land movement, and ensuring accurate navigation systems.

The ocean is 71% of the Earth's Surface.
The seven large landmasses of Earth's surface are: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
