4.1 INFORMATION

GPS The network of satellites that can be used to accurately measure the position of any point on Earth’s surface.

GPS

GPS The network of satellites that can be used to accurately measure the position of any point on Earth’s surface.

GPS Scientists can measure the speed and direction of plate movement by tracking

GPS About 200 million years ago, North America and Europe were part of a large continent called Pangaea

GPS when the plates moved apart, the Atlantic Ocean formed between the continents.
