How does GPS provide evidence that the surface of the earth moves overtime?

So in the first case, if you had enough time, you could observe plate motion on the order of feet. In the second case, you have enough precision that you can essentially watch plate motion in real time.

∙ 10y ago-- The GPS receiver in your hand shows where you are right now.
-- A minute from now, it'll show where you are a minute from now.
-- If you know where you were a minute earlier, and you know
where you are a minute later, you can put that information together
to describe your motion.
-- Except that a GPS receiver shows a new location once every second.

How do limestone deposits provide evidence of how plate motions have changed earths surface?
yo but holeLimestone deposits that began as coral reefs provide evidence of how plate motions have changed Earth's surface. These deposits also provide evidence of past environments.
Where do you find that the earth is spherical?
The Earth isn't actually perfectly spherical. It is slightly flattened at the poles. To find evidence of Earth's round shape, pictures taken from space are good secondary data to provide evidence.
What evidence is there that the gravitational pull also pulls on objects closer to the surface of earth?
the objects fall to the ground
Contrast the continents of Venus with those of Earth?
Venus only has two continents and they occupy about 8 percent of the surface. Earth's continents occupies about 25 percent of the surface. Venus also does not have any evidence of plate tectonics.
Holes drilled several kilometers into earth's crust provide direct evidence about earth's interior in the form of?
Rock Samples.

What Distribution of different organisms over the earth surface?
evidence for evolution
How are seismic waves used to provide evidence about earth's sructure?
vibrations
What the gravity at the surface of the earth?
Rock samples and Indirect evidence from seismic waves.:)
How has the space shuttle helped provide evidence that the earth is round?
because of pictures
What is the force of gravity at Earth's surface?

What did Foucault's pendulum provide in the 19th century?
evidence that supports the conjecture that the Earth is rotating
Evidence of endogeneous activities in the earth's crust?
can be seen at the surface in the form of volcanic activity... novanet
What can be some evidence on the surface of the Earth that indicate a high water table in that area?
A body of water

How does the density of the earth provide evidence that the interior of the earth is denser that the surface?
The density of the Earth as a whole has been calculated by observing the orbits of the moon and artificial satellites, trajectories of near earth asteroids, etc. We can measure the density of materials from which the surface is composed. The two are not the same. That tells us that the density of the interior is different from the density of surface materials. Since the overall density is greater than the density of the surface materials, the interior must be denser still in order to bring the overall density to what has been observed and calculated.
