It all starts when the Uranium goes into the Nucleus, then pours in the microwanium manoxide which restores latitude and longitude lines onto the Earth's surface. (90 Degrees Each) Once done that the topex/poseidon sattelite uses those lines which creates data for it onto the sattelite. So the answer would be 69 Degrees North and 1337 Degrees South. c:

Explain how satellites can be used to collect data on earthquake faults?

Geologists use satellites equipped with radar to make images of faults. The satellite bounces radio waves off the ground. As the waves echo back into space, the satellite records them.


What sends data to a satellite?

A radio or microwave mast


What is the difference between a space probe and a satellite?

Space probes- instrument that gathers data and sends it back to earth, and an artificial satellite is when people go up to space and gather data and then go back to earth to go over the data


What is a machine placed in space orbit in order to transmit data?

A satellite


How do you store satellite telemetery data?

Satellite telescopes gather a huge amount of data. There are really two kinds of data. "Housekeeping data" is information about the satellite and its health and safety. It tells you where the satellite thinks it is pointing, what its temperature is, which parts are working, and similar status information. This housekeeping data is used by the ground crew to make sure everything is working properly.In addition, the instruments on board also have their data, "Science data". This is the fun stuff -- the images, spectra, count rates, and other measurements of the celestial object you want to study. Most of the data that you transmit to the ground will be this science data. Scientists also use the housekeeping data to evaluate how well the instruments were functioning during the collection of their science data.Data is stored onboard the satellite and sent down to earth in batches, every orbit or every day or as often as possible. Sometimes, data can be sent in realtime -- as the instruments make their observations, they instantly beam the results back to Earth.

How is rising sea level?

Sea levels are measured by averaging the hourly data from geologically stable tide gauges around the world over many years.Since 1992 satellite altimeters (TOPEX/Poseidon, then Jason-1 and Jason-2) have been providing precise sea level measurements.SONARSea level is measured with the help of Barometer.
