All the listed options can be helpful to geologists, but the most relevant one to understanding the formation of mountain ranges is:
**Global positioning can provide high precision measurements.**
High-precision GPS measurements are crucial in studying tectonic movements, fault lines, and topographical changes that contribute to the formation and evolution of mountain ranges. Additionally, while computers facilitating communication and digital video documenting changes can also be valuable, they are not as directly related to the core geological processes as GPS technology. Rockets, while they can access difficult areas, are less commonly used in geological studies compared to other means of data collection.
