Question

question 13 of 25
a student found a map of polar bear movements online. each bears position is signaled from a collar on its neck, via satellite, to scientists and then to the website. which technology makes this possible?

a. stun guns

b. electric fences

c. the global positioning system (gps)

d. a geographic information system (gis)

Explanation:

Stun guns and electric fences are unrelated to animal position tracking. GIS is used to analyze and map spatial data, but it does not collect real-time position signals via satellite. GPS uses satellite technology to transmit precise location data, which matches the description of the collar sending the polar bear's position.

Answer:

C. The Global Positioning System (GPS)
