application of triangulation occurs in a global positioning system (GPS). A GPS consists one or more Earth-based receivers that accept and analyze signals sent by satellites. To determine a receiver’s geographic location. GPS receivers‚ found in handheld navigation devices and many vehicles‚ use triangulation to determine their location relative to at least three geostationary satelites. According to Sanders‚ the geostationary satelites are the fixed points in triangulation formula (Understanding Satelites

While the technology available to Christopher Columbus in 1492 was certainly sufficient to impress his memory firmly upon future generations‚ if he had had access to modern navigational techniques and technology‚ the organization and outcome of his voyages would have been vastly different. Methods of elucidating longitude in Columbus’s time were nonexistent‚ and those for determining latitude could be deeply flawed. Thus‚ given the defective nature of the technology Columbus employed on his voyages

In addition to GPS‚ other systems are in use or under development. The Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) was in use by only the Russian military‚ until it was made fully available to civilians in 2007.

But I found that sea turtles use inclination angle and intensity to follow certain routes in the ocean‚ they call these routes gyres. The gyre is known to be warm and have lots of food‚ but where the gyre is cold there is less food and turtles that follow these routes tend to die. Also a lot of these creatures tend to have a substance in
