Helium is most known for its uses in floating balloons, but it has many scientific applications, such as preparing NASA rockets, testing aircraft in wind tunnels, and lifting weather monitoring equipment into the upper atmosphere. However, once released into the atmosphere, helium cannot be recovered

Question

Helium is most known for its uses in floating balloons, but it has many scientific applications, such as preparing NASA rockets, testing aircraft in wind tunnels, and lifting weather monitoring equipment into the upper atmosphere. However, once released into the atmosphere, helium cannot be recovered

Use the passage to answer the question. How might a weather scientist feel about the market for helium-filled balloons? (1 point)

Those that make helium-filled balloons educate the public about the uses of helium.

Helium-filled balloons consume a resource that could be better used.

Helium-filled balloons increase the profits of helium- holding organizations.

Helium-filled balloons create a motivation for mining companies to find helium pockets

Answer 1

A weather scientist might feel that helium-filled balloons consume a resource that could be better used. This is because the passage states that once released into the atmosphere, helium cannot be recovered, and it also mentions the scientific applications and importance of helium in various industries, including weather monitoring equipment.
