Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SRTM stands for Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which used radar waves from space to map the terrain surfaces of Earth. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Choice B is incorrect as SRTM did not use radio waves to create a full three-dimensional model of Earth. Choice C is incorrect as SRTM did not use sonar, which is a technique used to map underwater landscapes. Choice D is also incorrect as SRTM did not map the heights of the oceans to create a new permanent vertical datum.
