GEOGRAPHY PROJECT

SIXES MAX. AND MIN.THERMOMETER


Six’s thermometer is used where when one wants to know the maximum or
minimum temperature during a day.

It indicates current temperature along with the highest and the lowest
temperatures since it was last set.

It is used to record extreme temperatures at a location as in meteorology,


horticulture etc.

They can be used to measure air temperatures.

Recording data over a period of time means that changes in the climate could be
observed.

They can also be used to measure air temperatures.

The temperatures are shown both in Centigrade and Fahrenheit.

Water temperature is an important factor for determining evaporation rates


since the energy needed to evaporate warmer water is lesser than that for
cooler water. Six’s thermometer is also used to measure this.

Six’s thermometer is also popularly used by gardeners in greenhouses to plan


care for plants better.

They are now filled with safer liquid like alcohol instead of mercury for
measuring temperatures.

MERCURY BAROMETER

A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure. Pressure


tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Many measurements
of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find
surface troughs, high pressure systems and frontal boundaries.
Barometers and pressure altimeters (the most basic and common type of
altimeter) are essentially the same instrument, but used for different purposes.
An altimeter is intended to be used at different levels matching the
corresponding atmospheric pressure to the altitude, while a barometer is kept
at the same level and measures subtle pressure changes caused by weather.
ANEROID BAROMETER

1⃣Aneroid barometers primarily measure whether pressure is rising or falling.

2⃣Aneroid barometers are often used for reading pressure in homes and
recreational boats.

3⃣Other uses may include barographs in meteorology and altimeters in modern


aircraft.

4⃣This type of barometer can announce whether a high or low pressure system is
coming or whether it is becoming more intense.

5⃣There are different types of aneroid barometers, such as the altimeter, which
measures altitude, or distance above sea level.

WIND VANE
1. it is used to indicate wind direction

2. it is used as a decorative addition to tall building.

3.it is often used to provide a visual backup to the weather.

4.another of it uses is it help to know the wind direction during a storm that may
help to determine their personal property in a safe way

5.these helps local authorities keep their communities safe.

6.wind vanes use anemometer to measure wind speed and pressure

7. meteorologist use it to predict weather patterns

8.wind vane can fixed compass

9.wind vanes are commonly adhered to boats as a navigational device

10.A simple wind vane can be helpful during sailing and golfing
ANEMOMETER
1.An anemometer is a device used for measuring the speed of wind.

2.It is also a common weather station instrument.

3.It is also used for measuring the pressure of wind.

4.It is also used for checking the direction of wind.

5.It is also used for checking the flow of wind.
