    Question

    Read the passage below and answer to the questions that follow.
    Weather is such a complex phenomenon that it can change dramatically in a short period of time. The sun is responsible for all weather changes. The amount of energy absorbed and reflected by the earth's surface, ocean, and atmosphere all play important roles in determining local weather.
    Which department is in charge of creating the daily weather report?

    1. Meteorological department
    2. Astronomical department
    3. Astrological department

    4. Electric department

    Hint:

    Weather changes and all the news about weather is handled by the meteorological department

    The correct answer is: Meteorological department

      The department records earthquakes and conducts research. Information provided by it is useful for general public to know about the weather forecast. It is vital for fishermen, civil aviation activities and farmers.
