Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A scientist is constructing a device that will predict exactly where hurricanes will travel. This device could save many lives but will be extremely expensive. Which term describes the high cost of this device?
A
benefit
B
criteria
C
constraint
D
technology
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Satellites give weather scientists a “big picture” overview of weather development, which is useful in storm tracking. Tornadoes, however, are trickier to predict since they are much faster-moving events; meteorologists use Doppler radar to measure moving objects such as hail or rain within developing supercell clouds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Earthquake engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that designs and analyzes structures, such as buildings and bridges, with earthquakes in mind.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is the best method for a geologist to find a scientific explanation for varying levels of damage in a city after an earthquake? create a computer model that takes into account different variables. Scientists and engineers work together to try to reduce the damage from natural hazards.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metrologists can predict cyclones by observing the daily weather. They can also get the information from satellites if a cyclone is developing in an area or not.
