Solution:
nowadays, scientists usually use GPS to record the rate of tectonic plate movement.
Some radio waves are sent to the ground region where there are the chances of occurring disturbances.
The distance traveled while the time taken determines the speed of the movement.
The rate is usually calculated to determine the nearest extent of occurring earthquake and other natural calamities like tsunami in the particular region of tectonic movement.

Answer:
Geodesy is the science that measures the earths continental and oceanic plates precisely from space suing the orientation and the gravity principle.
Explanation:
- The use of geodynamic phenomena in understanding the crustal motion, tides, and the polar motion can be studied through marking the coordinated in the globe and relying on the geographic datums and aerial surveys.
- As these points on the earth's surface are obtained through the real-time data the use of point positioning is done. A static GPS is used to show the temporal changes that take place like the periods of tides, mass variation hydrological changes, post-glacial upliftments.
- Precise monitoring is done through the tacheometer and the Interferometric synthetic aperture radar systems.
