What is the difference between a GPS and a Satellite Navigation System?

A GPS (Global Positioning System) is a specific satellite-based navigation system developed and operated by the United States government. Satellite navigation systems are more generally used to refer to any navigation system that relies on satellites to provide location information, which can include other systems like GLONASS (Russia) or Galileo (EU). Essentially, a GPS is a type of satellite navigation system.


How is gps used to show sea floor spreading and plates moving?

GPS receivers on different plates can measure the rate and direction of movement, which helps in monitoring plate tectonics. By placing receivers on the seafloor along mid-ocean ridges, scientists can track the spreading of the seafloor and movement of plates in real-time. This data provides valuable insights into the dynamics of plate motion and helps in understanding sea floor spreading.

What is a GPS device?

Global positioning system, GPS, is a device that calculates its exact position on Earth in relation to latitude and longtitude, triangulated via satellites. The Answer from akakscase: I'm going to answer your question in parts so you can have a better understanding of what exactly a GPS Device is. GPS, or Global Positioning System, is a system of satelites that are orbiting the earth in a geo-synchronous orbit. That means relative to the ground they stay in the same spots in the sky. These GPS satelites send out a specific signal with a specific timing embeded in the signal. A GPS Device has a GPS reciever, an antenna specifically made to detect the signals from the satelites. When the device can detect a satelite it can use the timing in the signals to detemine it's precise distance from the satelite. When it can see more than three satelites it can use the distances to determine your position in the world. Most GPS Devices are tolerant within 30 feet, but some of the more accurate and expensive ones can be tolerant within a few inches. Tolerance is the margin or error of your position in relation to the satelites. So A GPS device is a device that uses the GPS satelites to find your position, within a margin of error, on the planet.
