Which term provides topographic information detailing the location and elevation of non-terrain related features such as vegetation and fences?

• A. Pitch
• B. Planimetry
• C. Plastic Deformation
• D. Plate Girder

Answer: (B)

Planimetric mapping focuses on the plan view, recording the horizontal locations of features on the ground. It captures where non-terrain elements like vegetation and fences sit relative to each other, typically without detailing vertical height. Elevation information is handled separately with contours or spot elevations, but the location of such features is described using planimetric data. The other terms don’t fit here: pitch is about slope, plastic deformation is a material behavior concept, and plate girder is a structural member.
