GPS satellites do not 'find' anything, that is not their purpose.
Geologists have created Creep Meters, GPS Satellites, Range/ Laser devices, and Tilt Meters. These instruments help keep track of changes in the land surface and elevation.- Polly T. Denver, CO
GPS satellites are used to help us accurately determine the current time and our location. GPS satellites are not directly used to help us predict the weather. Weather satellites use many imaging and sensing technologies to help us predict the weather, but they are not useful in helping us determine our location. They are two different types of satellites with two different purposes. There are many other types of satellites too, such as communication satellites (such as used with Direct TV), space telescopes (such as Hubble) etc.

Scientists can monitor changes in elevation as well as horizontal movement along faults using a network of Earth-orbiting satellites called GPS.
to monitor faults, geologists have developed instruments to measure changes in elevation, tiliting of the land surface, and ground movements along the faults. Geologists use tiltmeters, Creep Meters, Laser- Ranging Devices, and GPS Satellites.

GPS- Global Positioning System Uses satellites to determine it location.
Smartphones use GPS receivers to receive signals from GPS satellites and determine their location. GPS receivers in smartphones work by triangulating the signals from at least four GPS satellites to calculate the phone's latitude, longitude, and altitude.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
