Question

44According to the information in the article, the American meteorologist Edward LorenzA warned the scientific community of the chaotic state of most meteorological research methods.B was the first meteorologist to divulge the fact that unless two initial states are exactly the same, they must evolve differently.C was the first meteorologist to use mathematical equations to determine patterns of atmospheric convection.D had access only to rudimentary mathematical models and therefore achieved limited success in determining patterns of atmospheric convection.E was the first meteorologist to study the nature of various patterns of atmospheric convection.

Answer 1

A alternativa correta é a B.

O cientista norte-americano Edward Lorenz foi o primeiro a alertar sobre o desenvolvimento potencialmente diferente de duas situações iguais no decorrer do tempo.

É possível encontrar essa informação no quarto parágrafo: “(…) it was the work of the American meteorologist Edward Lorenz in the 160s, using a set of highly simplificated equations to determine patterns of atmospheric convetion, that first alerted the scientific community to the notion of chaos: the inevitable divergence of all but identical initial states as they evolve overtime”.
