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.

Agents of natural disturbances:

• Winds (storms, hurricanes, tornadoes)

• Tree falls

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism? intraplate volcanism volcanism at a divergent plate boundary su
tangare [24]

The correct answer is - intraplate volcanism.

The Hawaiian Islands are volcanic islands, thus islands that have been created by volcanic activity. Unlike most of the volcanic islands, or most of the volcanoes, they are not related to any type of volcanism asociated with plate boundary. These islands are in fact associated with intraplate volcanism.

The intraplate volcanism, unlike the other volcanisms, appears inside the plate, not on the boundary of it. The other, more common name, used for this volcanism is hot spot volcanism. This type of volcanic activity appears on places where there's a hot spot, so even though the plate is on top of it, it manages to penetrate through it, and create volcanoes on the surface.
