What does the GPS use to map the rate of tectonic plate movement?

GPS itself does not do this. When geologists place recording GPS receivers on opposite sides of the faults that separate the tectonic plates the receivers calculate their positions (just like the GPS navigator in a car does) and when the geologists analyze the collected data they can make maps of plate movements.


What was Arthur Holmes 1928 theory?

Arthur Holmes 1928 theory described plate tectonics and a modern view of the solid Earth. He pioneered the use of radioactive dating of minerals, and understood the mechanical and thermal implications of mantle convection, which was a basis for plate tectonics.
