Hurricanes are violent storms with high winds and rain that form over the ocean. They cover an area 300 to 600 miles across and move relatively slowly—between 5 and 15 miles per hour. Meteorologists can now predict their paths with a great deal of accuracy. Which of the following technologies best accounts for accurate hurricane tracking?

Explanation

The best answer is Choice D. Satellite photos of cloud patterns help meteorologists identify hurricanes and follow their paths; weather data help them follow changes in the intensity of the storm. Thus, the photos and data from satellites help meteorologists make predictions about the development and movement of hurricanes.
