Question

which description refers to short-range forecasts?
○ cover five days or less
○ do not require computers
○ cover more than 10 days
○ impacted by butterfly effect

Explanation:

Short - range forecasts in meteorology (a subfield of Natural Science, specifically Physics - related to atmospheric physics) typically cover a short time period. The option "cover five days or less" matches the definition of short - range forecasts. The option "do not require computers" is incorrect as modern forecasting often uses computers. "Cover more than 10 days" is for medium to long - range forecasts. The "butterfly effect" impacts all types of forecasts due to chaotic systems, not just short - range.

Answer:

A. cover five days or less
