Which is TRUE concerning static crashes on your AM radio?
• Relationship between radio static and electrical activity in the atmosphere • How thunderstorms affect radio communications • Whether static on an AM radio can give you useful weather information
• Ask yourself: What kind of weather produces a lot of electrical discharges that could interfere with radio signals? • Think about whether calm, clearing, or windy (but fair) weather would naturally create strong radio static. • Consider how mariners without weather radar might have used simple AM radios as a rough tool to detect certain types of dangerous weather nearby.
• Verify which type of weather is most associated with lightning and electrical activity. • Check whether static crashes would be considered meteorologically significant or not. • Eliminate choices that describe improving or fair weather, and focus on those involving potentially hazardous conditions.
