Due to plate motions, tidal effects of the Moon and the Sun,
atmosphe ric, hydrological, ocean loading and local geological
processes, and due to the rotation of the Earth, all points on the
Earth's crust are sub ject to deformation. Global plate motion
models, based on the ocean floor spreading rates, transform fault
azimuths, and earthquake slip vectors, describe average plate
motions for a time period of the past few million years. Therefore,
the investigation of present-day tectonic activities by global
plate motion models in a small area with complex movements cannot
supply satisfactory results. The contribution of space techniques
Very Long Baseline Interferome try (VLBI); Satellite Laser Ranging
(SLR); Global Positioning System (GPS)] applied to the present-day
deformations ofthe Earth's surface and plate tectonics has
increased during the last 20 to 25 years. Today one is able to
determine by these methods the relative motions in the em to
sub-em-range between points far away from each other."
