Which of these statements best explains why computer models and simulations are used to study severe weather? a. they reduce the strength of storms and hurricanes. b. they predict the damages of severe weather easily. c. they can force strong winds to blow in desired directions. d. they prevent severe weather conditions in a location.

The correct answer is B) they predict the damages of severe weather easily.

Explanation:

Most Weather Services around the world now use supercomputers around the clock to accurately produce forecasts, watches, warnings and a whole host of data for the public. These computers make use of virtually all observational data that the weather services collect. Observational data may comes from satellites, weather balloons, buoys, radar, and more.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
