Geodesia
The act of cartographically dividing the earth, as well as the study or the result of that process.
Calculations in topographic studies refer to the application of Geodesia, and there is actually a branch of engineering that deals with these matters. The use of maps that include descriptions of the height and depth of a terrain is the result of applying Geodesia in the creation of those maps (the division of the land).
