It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"Weather & Climate: Lesson #1: Weather Conditions & Measurements", and it includes a vocabulary section with six terms that need to be defined:
1. Air Pressure
2. Anemometer
3. Barometer
4. Humidity
5. Psychrometer
6. Rain Gauge
Since this is a vocabulary exercise, here are the definitions for each term:
---
1. Air Pressure
*Definition:* The weight of the air above a given point, measured in units such as millibars or inches of mercury. It is an important factor in weather forecasting because changes in air pressure often indicate approaching weather systems (e.g., storms or high-pressure systems).
---
2. Anemometer
*Definition:* An instrument used to measure wind speed. Some anemometers also measure wind direction. They typically have cups or propellers that spin in response to wind.
---
3. Barometer
*Definition:* A device used to measure atmospheric pressure. Changes in barometric pressure can help predict weather conditions—falling pressure often indicates stormy weather, while rising pressure suggests fair weather.
---
4. Humidity
*Definition:* The amount of water vapor present in the air. It is usually expressed as relative humidity, which is the percentage of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature.
---
5. Psychrometer
*Definition:* An instrument used to measure humidity. It consists of two thermometers: one dry bulb and one wet bulb. The difference in temperature between them is used to calculate the relative humidity.
---
6. Rain Gauge
*Definition:* A tool used to measure the amount of liquid precipitation (rain) over a specific period. It is typically a cylindrical container with markings to show depth in millimeters or inches.
