GPS is a system made up of three parts (satellites, ground stations, and receivers) that help in determining ground location with incredible precision. The satellites continuously transmit a signal and its receiver calculates its distance from the satellite. The positions of the satellites are used by the receivers as reference points to determine the location of the GPA receiver.

For instance, when a hiker gets lost in the woods and has access to a GPS receiver, he will easily be able to determine his current location. Marking his starting location on a GPS receiver will also assist him into finding his way back.

Answer : The remains of dead plants and animals settle to the bottom of an ocean or lake and are covered by mud. Pressure eventually forms these layers into rock.

Why? : Basically sedimentary rocks are formed in low temperature, the pressure is low so the remains of any dead plants don't burn or get destroyed.

Igneous rocks form from molten rock and don't really get much fossils in them,

Metamorphic rocks has been under great pressure which fossils would not be able to survive in.
