Geography Instruments

Some common geography instruments measurement item:

-Barometer: Barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. It is also known as Torriceli's Tube after Torricelli who invented this instrument
-Wind vane/ weather cock: It is an instrument for observing the direction of the wind
- Rain gauge/Udometer/Pluviometer/Fluviograph:  It is the instrument used to measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period
-Snow gauge: This is identical to the Rain gauge but unlike the rain gauge, the snow gauge measures solid precipitation
-Anemometer: An anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed. It helps us know how fast wind is moving at a given time
-Hydrometer: Hydrometer measure the relative density or the specific gravity of liquids which is the ratio of the density of liquid to the ratio of the water density
-Hygrometer: It is an instrument used to measure the relative humidity
-Thermometer: It is an instrument used for measuring temperature
-Seismograph: Mainly used for measuring movement caused by earthquake
