How is continental movement measured?

Geography
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Geodesy, the science of measuring the Earth's shape and positions on it, allows the measurement of plate motion directly using GPS, the Global Positioning System. This network of satellites is more stable than the Earth's surface, so when a whole continent moves somewhere at a few centimeters per year, GPS can tell.

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

Why may you be asked whether you are allergic to eggs before receiving a vaccination?
RoseWind [281]
Some vaccines are made out of egg proteins, which is why it is imperative for those administering them to ask if the patient has an egg allergy. Some vaccines may cause a severe allergic reaction. However, if hives are all the patient gets from eggs, the vaccines are still administered. If they get more than hives, they are closely monitored if given the vaccine.
