Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) measures plate movement by using laser beams sent from ground-based stations to satellites equipped with retroreflectors. By precisely timing the round-trip travel of the laser light, SLR can determine distances to the satellites with high accuracy. As tectonic plates shift over time, the changes in these distances can be monitored, allowing researchers to calculate the rate and direction of plate movement. This technology provides crucial data for understanding seismic activity and tectonic processes.

How do GPS and SLR help measure and record plate movement?
as the earth bound GPS and SLR satellite stations move on earth's surface with the plates the satellite's change accordingly allowing scientists to check the movement over many years, for example By using this they have found that JPL in Pasadena, located on the pacific plate moves north about 1.4cm/year and west about 3.6cm/year
