Question 9 • MO-Grade World Geography

If you wanted to find your exact location, which new technology in geography could use a system of satellite signals and receivers to help you?

Answer
A
Global Positioning System (GPS)
B
aerial photography
C
remote sensing
D
geographic information systems (GIS)

Explanation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses signals from satellites and a receiver to determine an exact location. Aerial photography takes pictures from above, while remote sensing collects information from a distance; neither directly gives your receiver’s position. Geographic information systems (GIS) store and analyze location data rather than determine your location from satellite signals.
