Difference between Global Positioning System and Tectonics

Global Positioning System vs. Tectonics

The Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS, is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Air Force. Tectonics is the process that controls the structure and properties of the Earth's crust and its evolution through time.

Similarities between Global Positioning System and Tectonics

Global Positioning System and Tectonics have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Crust (geology), Earthquake, Plate tectonics, Seismic hazard.

Crust (geology)

In geology, the crust is the outermost solid shell of a rocky planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite.

Earthquake

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Plate tectonics

Plate tectonics (from the Late Latin tectonicus, from the τεκτονικός "pertaining to building") is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of seven large plates and the movements of a larger number of smaller plates of the Earth's lithosphere, since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3 and 3.5 billion years ago.

Seismic hazard

A seismic hazard is the probability that an earthquake will occur in a given geographic area, within a given window of time, and with ground motion intensity exceeding a given threshold.

Global Positioning System and Tectonics Comparison

Global Positioning System has 294 relations, while Tectonics has 42. As they have in common 4, the Jaccard index is 1.19% = 4 / (294 + 42).
