What is the primary reason the Chajnantor Plateau is chosen for millimeter and submillimeter astronomy despite its harsh environment?
Its high altitude and extremely dry climate reduce atmospheric water vapor that interferes with observations.
Its proximity to major cities provides easy access for scientists and equipment.
Its low altitude allows telescopes to be closer to the objects being observed.

Why was the Chajnantor Plateau chosen as the site for the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA)?
Because it is close to major urban centers, making it easy to access.
Because it has a mild climate that is comfortable for astronomers to work in year-round.
Because its high altitude and dry climate minimize atmospheric water vapor that blocks millimeter and submillimeter radiation.
