Question 10 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Buoys that record El Niño can transmit data to satellites in space. What can you conclude from this fact?

Answer
A
The buoy and its satellite are launched at the same time.
B
The buoys are spread out along the equator.
C
Scientists work and live on the buoys.
D
The buoys are equipped with computers.

Explanation

To transmit recorded data to satellites, a buoy must have equipment that can send information, such as a computer or similar electronic system. The fact that it communicates with a satellite does not show that it was launched at the same time as the satellite, is located along the equator, or is lived on by scientists. So the supported conclusion is that the buoys are equipped with computers.
