Explanation

According to the fragment of the question that states that "To use a radar, a weather tower sends out radio waves and then detects the waves that are reflected back to the tower" it is possible to infer that the radar waves that are reflected towards the tower They are the product of the collision of these waves with an object that is in the air such as rain.
