Question

Scientists use GPS to measure the rate of Tectonic plate movements.Discuss

Answer 1

Tectonic plates are on a globe, not on a flat surface. Each plate rotates about a "pole" and each plate also has a different speed. The farther you are from the pole of rotation, the bigger the speed of your GPS station. By observing tectonic motion with GPS instruments, we can learn what is pushing and pulling at the Earth's surface—and what happens when it does.

Answer 2

Answer:

Computer Aided Technology (CAT) and GPS used for the tectonic plate movements.

Explanation:

Computer Aided Technology (CAT) is used for found the plate margins and movement of plates. Global positioning system acts as transducer it consists transmitter and receiver. Transmitter sends the signal and receiver receives the signal, the difference time is calculated between the transmitter and receiver signals. This time is used for measure the speed of the plate movements and also GPS found the direction of the plate movement.
