Answer:

please see the explanation given below

Explanation:

The differences between chain survey and compass survey are -

1. In compass surveying,framework consists of a series of connected lines forming an open or closed polygon.

   In chain surveying,the framework consists of a system of triangles.

2. compass surveying is used for large areas and better accuracy is required.

    Chain surveying is used for small areas and accuracy required is low.

3. Check lines are generally not taken in compass surveying but they require in chain surveying.
