Our focus of this paper is to discuss a method to determine the dynamics of two different continental plates, using GPS signals. The continental plates that are selected for the analysis are N.American and S.American plates. To determine the dynamics or plate movements, navigational signals of GPS are used. Access was made possible by Onsala Space Research Laboratories, Sweden [1]. Data from GPS measurements are observed for a time span of about eight to ten years. Second part of this paper deals with the use of GPS signals to help us measure the change in the troposphere. Thus by having some prior knowledge and applying sensible calculations, future climate and several atmospheric processes can be predicted.
