Radar satellites locate clouds and measure heights while orbiting earth above the atmosphere, and ground stations hold instruments that measure air pressure, temperature, dew point, etc.

What information could you get about an earthquakes location from only two seismic stations?
magnitude and distance betwean the stations, but not right left deviation, assuming the ground is the same.
What is frequency reuse in communications satellite?
A technique called frequency reuse allows satellites to communicate with a number of ground stations using the same frequency, by transmitting in narrow beams pointed toward each of the stations. Beam widths can be adjusted to cover areas - footprints - as large as the entire United States or as small as a state like Maryland. Two stations far enough apart can receive different messages transmitted on the same frequency. Satellite antennas have been designed to transmit several beams in different directions, using the same reflector.
Space satellites are powered by?
they are powered by ground control on earth
How are pictures from space sent to earth?
If you have a dish for your TV service then you're getting a television feed via a satellite feed. Likewise, digital imagery is sent from earth orbiting or deep-space satellites to ground stations for processing. For example, GeoEye and DigitalGlobe have a constellation of satellites that takes pictures of earth that are processed to display on Google Earth and Google Maps.
What are some of the types of information obtained by remote sensing?
Remote sensing is the examination or the gathering of information about a place from a distance. Such examination can occur with devices (e.g. - cameras) based on the ground, and/or sensors or cameras based on ships, aircraft, satellites, or other spacecraft.

What would be useful for studying cloud cover?
Satellites and ground stations.
What advantage do weather satellites have over ground based weather stations?
They are not affected by conditions on the ground. Ground-based stations could be destroyed by severe weather (such as tornadoes or hurricanes). Satellites don't get affected by Earth's weather. Of course - satellites are at risk of meteor strike and solar radiation - but there's less chance of them being damaged.
Can a satellite predict a thunderstorm?
Satellites collect and send raw data to ground stations for computers to process and use complex computer models to predict future weather patterns.
How do satellites pass information to people on the ground?
By means of radio communication.
How do satellites transfer information to television?
satellites must transmit all their information to the earth down .satellites transmit information gathered by their sensors during each contact with the ground station. They contact the station using a large dish antennae which is situated on earth, at the site of the ground station. During the contacts between the satellite and ground station the satellites usually transmit information about the state of its various subsystems abd its position in space.
What do the ground stations collect from space?
collect information from space
Is gps accuracy affected by tectonic plate movement?
No. GPS accuracy is in the satellites it uses that orbit about 11,000 miles above Earth.There are super ground stations that keep all the satellites precise, but if they move due to an earthquake, any one of them can be recalibrated. Of course, the system of ground stations are located in areas with few earthquakes, to begin with.
How does gps tracking of a car work?
When a GPS system is placed in a vehicle it provides information on the exact location by radio-navigation system by 24 satellites and their ground stations. A microwave signal is transmitted from satellite to the GPS device.
How scientists use GPS to measure the rate of tectonic plate movement?
Radio signals are continuously beamed from satellites to GPS ground stations, which record the exact distance between the satellites and the ground station. Over time, these distances change slightly. By recording the time it takes for the GPS ground stations to move a given distance, scientist can measure the speed at which each tectonic plate move
