The global positioning system (GPS) is a network of satellites and receiving devices used to determine the location of something on Earth. Some GPS receivers are so accurate they can establish their location within 1 centimeter (0.4 inches). GPS receivers provide location in latitude, longitude, and altitude.

GPS uses a system of satellites to triangulate the position of a receiver anywhere on Earth. By using a network of receivers near plate boundaries, scientists can very accurately determine how the plates behave.
Q. How can a GPS be used to obtain evidence for plate tectonics?
Tectonic Plates By installing high accuracy GPS receivers on each plate, scientists can record the speed and direction that each plate is travelling in. Once installed, these receivers can operate for decades, allowing scientists to analyse any changes to the direction of each plate’s movement.
