Landslides into bays and lakes can generate huge tsunami of local extent. The tsunamis associated with bays and lakes are so large because of their constricted topography.

Bay is a water body which is partially surrounded by land and is usually smaller and less enclosed than a gulf. However, the mouth of the bay is wider than gulf. The wave height increases as it comes near the shore, and it depends almost entirely upon the submarine topography offshore. Steeper shorelines tend to produce higher tsunami waves. Tsunamis can also occur in lacustrine environments. In lakes, the huge tsunamis are mainly generated because of the drastic mass-movement processes which displaces large volumes of water and triggered by seismic or aseismic phenomenon.

If you wanted to find your exact location, which new technology in geography could use a system of satellite signals and receive
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A. Global Positioning System (GPS)

Explanation:

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most accurate way to find your exact location, virtually anywhere on the planet, thanks for a large network of satellites orbiting the planet and providing location information.  That system is also complemented by the cellular towers if you're using a cell phone.

Aerial photography is great, but it will not tell you where you are.

Remote sensing is to gather information from a distance, not relevant to the question here.

The Geographic Information Systems are information systems to give information about the land matched with precise GPS information, used in mining for example, but it's not able to tell you where you are, it's to tell where a gold deposit is however.
