Answer:

  • Finding Locations
  • Following Digital Maps

Explanation:

Information from GPS satellites help with communication for instance in the case of mobile phones, cell towers are able to connect to cellular devices more accurately and facilitate calls if the device or the cell tower is GPS enabled.

GPS (Global Positioning Systems) satellites are able to locate places on Earth quite accurately and for this reason, locations can be found by using information from these satellites. For instance, if you were to use Google Maps now to find somewhere in Brazil, that was information from a GPS satellite being used.

Electric power is less expensive at night because:
Lorico [155]

Answer:

x) there is less demand at night

Explanation:

Electric power and it's the price is dependant on the level of demand it has, there are peak and off-peak times during the day, generally speaking <em>during the night (between 10 pm and 7 am) electricity has lower demand</em>.

The existence of peak times at a day is the reason why<em> hydroelectric generation is lower at night</em>, normally in peak off times the hydroelectric generator stores water for when the demand increases, same happens with <em>powerplants at night not being as efficient as they are during the day when the energy is more needed.</em> Finally, <em>pollution control is stringent at all times of the day, its not related to the demand.</em>

I hope you find this information useful! good luck!
