Where geodesy is applied

Geodesic works are carried out for the needs of different sectors of the economy. First of all, we are talking about applied geodesy, as it is the part of the whole vast geodetic science that is used more often than others.

What are metamorphic rocks?

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been subjected to metamorphism, i.e. a process that has changed the texture and size of grain aggregates

Minerals

Minerals are self-native, stable chemical elements with unique physical and chemical characteristics. They are formed as a result of complex natural processes.

Equipment used

When performing geodetic works, it is necessary to use the following types of professional metrology equipment

Sedimentary rocks

Let’s start with a description of sedimentary rocks. Its formation is due to the transport and deposition of materials by wind, water and ice.

Where does geology apply?

Geology is not only a theoretical but also an applied science. Knowledge in this field contributes to the rapid development of industry, construction

Geological processes

Over time, under the influence of aggressive atmospheric effects, changes in climatic conditions, or human-induced transformations

The importance of mapping

Cartography is essential today. It is necessary for all the activities associated with globalization, such as international trade and intercontinental mass travel. because they require minimal knowledge of where things are in the world.

Digital mapping

Nowadays, a very high level of automation prevails, and it is reflected in almost all spheres of human activity.

History of Cartography

Cartography was born out of man’s desire to explore and take risks, which happened very early in history: the first maps in history date back to 6000 BC
