Which format is NOT one of the two types of descriptions used in surveys?

Graphic Descriptions
Digital Descriptions
Written Descriptions
Oral Descriptions

The correct answer is: Digital Descriptions

In surveying, the two primary types of descriptions are written descriptions and graphic descriptions. Written descriptions provide a detailed account of the property boundaries and features in textual form, often incorporating legal terminology to define exact locations. Graphic descriptions, on the other hand, utilize visual representations like maps or diagrams to illustrate the surveyed area. These formats are essential for accurately conveying specifics about land parcels. Digital descriptions may refer to the use of electronic formats for conveying survey information, but they do not represent a traditional type of description in the context of surveying practices. Oral descriptions, while they can be used informally, lack the precision and clarity needed for formal surveying documentation and are therefore not recognized as an established type of description in surveying. Thus, digital descriptions do not fit within the conventional classifications of survey descriptions.
