1. In traverse 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. Traverse 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 traverse surveying but they require in chain surveying.
