Aircraft technology facilitated the development of which of the following?(1 point) Responses GPS GPS remote sensing remote sensing GIS GIS Mercator projection maps Mercator projection maps

Aircraft technology facilitated the development of:

- GPS (Global Positioning System)
- Remote sensing
- GIS (Geographic Information System)

whats the answer then

The answer is all of the above. Aircraft technology facilitated the development of GPS, remote sensing, and GIS.

But not the Mercator projection of course. That preceded the airplane by quite a lot :)

You're correct, I apologize for the mistake. The Mercator projection maps were developed by Gerardus Mercator in the 16th century and were not influenced by aircraft technology. Thank you for pointing that out.

Moreover we were using radio direction finders in ships at sea very early in the airplane century.

GPS is really modern though because it depends on orbiting transmitters

You're absolutely right. Radio direction finders were indeed used in ships at sea before the development of aircraft technology. GPS, on the other hand, is a relatively modern technology that relies on orbiting satellites transmitting signals to determine precise positions on Earth. Thank you for the clarification.
