Question

how do computers play a role in meteorology? select three options.
□ they use equations to predict future weather.
□ they collect data from weather stations.
□ they draw weather maps.
□ they measure temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
□ they send out microwaves to make radar measurements.

Explanation:

• "They use equations to predict future weather": Computers run numerical weather prediction models with equations to forecast weather.
• "They collect data from weather stations": Computers can gather and process data from various weather stations.
• "They draw weather maps": Computers can generate weather maps using processed data.
• "They measure temperature, humidity, and wind speed": Measuring is done by sensors, not computers.
• "They send out microwaves to make radar measurements": Radar systems (not just computers) send microwaves, and computers process radar data but don't send microwaves.

Answer:

• They use equations to predict future weather.
• They collect data from weather stations.
• They draw weather maps.
