← ScienceWhich consequence arises because of general relativity's equivalence principle impacting geodesy?
A)Precise clock synchronization becomes location-dependent✓
B)Satellite signal scintillation diminishes considerably
C)Gravitational lensing effects become negligible
D)Orbital decay rates equalize for all satellites
💡 Explanation
The equivalence principle causes clock rates vary with gravitational potential; therefore altitude affects time, influencing GPS accuracy rather than equalizing rates and because satellite clock drift requires continuous correction rather than mitigating lensing or scintillation.
