Question

The Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster of 1986 took place in a city in Ukraine, approximately 400 miles southwest of Moscow, Russia. In the days and weeks after the accident, nuclear radioactivity increased in many countries, including Romania, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, and many other countries.
What is the BEST explanation as to why levels of radioactivity increased in areas so far from Chernobyl?
A) news media
B) food supplies
C) wind currents
D) international travelers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Wind currents

Explanation:

The people near Chernobyl left before the radiation spread to the town. News media does not spread radiation, it can only report it. International travelers were not permitted to go there at that time, after it exploded.  And wind can move radiation. So your answer is C.

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Wind currents do carry radioactive materials, this is why America doesn't nuke countries like North Korea because of it's impact on allied countries such as Japan and South Korea,
