Question

use the scenario to answer the question. a team of scientists is monitoring the development of a hurricane off the coast of florida. they use satellite imagery and data from other sources to track the movement of the hurricane. they input the data and any new information they receive into a computer to create model of the storm. which statement best describes the primary purpose of the model? (1 point) the model helps scientists to more accurately predict the path and strength of the hurricane. the model assists scientists to choose a name for the hurricane. the model permits scientists to predict future weather patterns. the model allows scientists to prevent the storm from hitting the coast.

Explanation:

The model is created using data about the hurricane to understand its movement. Predicting the path and strength is directly related to tracking the hurricane's movement. Naming the hurricane is unrelated to the model's purpose based on the given data - collection and tracking activities. Predicting future weather patterns is too broad as the focus is on this specific hurricane. Preventing the storm from hitting the coast is not something the model can do; it's for prediction, not prevention.

Answer:

The model helps scientists to more accurately predict the path and strength of the hurricane.
