Question

global precipitation measurement (gpm) is a tool scientists use to forecast weather. which statements describe gpm? select three options. it is a computer model used to predict weather. it is a satellite that collects data about rain and snow. its orbit covers 90 percent of earths surface. its orbit covers 70 percent of earths surface. the sensors measure visible light. the sensors measure microwaves.

Explanation:

1. GPM is a satellite mission (satellite constellation) that collects precipitation (rain, snow) data, so "It is a satellite that collects data about rain and snow" is correct.
2. GPM's orbit covers about 90% of Earth’s surface, so "Its orbit covers 90 percent of Earth’s surface" is correct.
3. GPM sensors measure microwaves (to detect precipitation), so "The sensors measure microwaves" is correct. The other options are incorrect: GPM is not a computer model, its orbit isn't 70%, and it doesn't measure visible light.

Answer:

B. It is a satellite that collects data about rain and snow, C. Its orbit covers 90 percent of Earth's surface, F. The sensors measure microwaves
