Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is C. Beaufort.
The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. It was devised in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort, the Hydrographer of the Royal Navy, for use by sailors. The scale is logarithmic, with each whole number increase in wind speed representing a tenfold increase in wind speed. The scale is divided into 12 categories, from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane).
The Beaufort scale is used by meteorologists, sailors, and other people who need to know the wind speed. It is also used by the media to report wind speeds.
The other options are incorrect.
- Option A, decibel, is a unit of measurement for sound pressure.
- Option B, Richter, is a scale used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes.
- Option D, Fajita, is a type of Mexican food.
