As we all know, Geodetic surveying and Plane surveying comes under the primary classification of surveying.
Geodetic surveying
In geodetic surveying, the curvature of the earth is taken into account while taking surveying. In this surveying conducted a larger area. Geodetic surveying is mainly conducted to determine the precise positions on the earth surface. It is also called as Trigonometrical surveying.
Plane Surveying
In-plane surveying, the curvature of the earth is ignored because surveying is conducted in small areas. The degree of accuracy is low as compared to Geodetic surveying.

The cavity wall is a wall that has a hollow center. They are provided with space between two skins, usually made with masonry such as brick or cinder blocks. They can provide better thermal insulation than other solid walls. Also, they are cheaper than other solid walls. By using the cavity wall, the entering of moisture can be prevented effectively. It also acts as a damp barrier. It is very easy to install at a cheaper rate.
