Some meteorologists use weather models to help predict hurricanes and mitigate damage. Why are such models useful tools for meteorologists?
A. They send warnings about hurricanes to all people living in a region.
B. They test how effective an agency will be in responding to a hurricane.
C. They show projections of where a hurricane might move.
D. They transmit pictures of the hurricane as it appears from space.
C. They show projections of where a hurricane might move.
Weather models are useful tools for meteorologists because they use various data, such as current weather conditions, historical data, and atmospheric variables, to simulate and predict the behavior of hurricanes. These models can show potential paths and impacts of a hurricane, helping meteorologists and emergency management officials make informed decisions about evacuation orders, resource allocation, and other mitigation efforts to reduce damage and save lives.
