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. Five days or less is a common definition for short - range forecasts. The option “do not require computers” is incorrect as modern forecasting often uses computers. “Cover more than 10 days” is for long - range forecasts. The “butterfly effect” has more impact on long - range forecasts due to the sensitivity of chaotic systems over longer times, while short - range forecasts are less impacted by it in a significant way for practical purposes.

Answer:

A. cover five days or less
