Let’s go step by step to match each description with the correct weather instrument.
We’ll look at what each instrument does and match it to the description.
---
1) “an instrument for measuring wind speed and wind pressure”
→ This is an
anemometer.
It usually has cups that spin in the wind — the faster they spin, the stronger the wind. Some also measure pressure.
Looking at the images: The third image from top (with 3 red cups on arms) is the anemometer.
✔ So, #1 → Anemometer
---
2) “an instrument for measuring the temperature”
→ That’s a
thermometer.
It shows how hot or cold it is, often with a liquid that rises or falls in a tube.
First image: blue liquid in a glass tube with numbers — that’s a thermometer.
✔ So, #2 → Thermometer
---
3) “an instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure”
→ That’s a
barometer.
It measures air pressure — high pressure means fair weather, low pressure can mean storms.
Fifth image: round dial with needle and numbers like 29, 30, 31 — that’s a barometer (often used for pressure).
✔ So, #3 → Barometer
---
4) “an instrument for showing the direction of the wind”
→ That’s a
wind vane (or weather vane).
It has an arrow that points into the wind — so you know which way the wind is coming from.
Second image: arrow pointing left/right with N/S/E/W directions — that’s a wind vane.
✔ So, #4 → Wind Vane
---
5) “an instrument for measuring rainfall”
→ That’s a
rain gauge.
It’s a container that collects rainwater — you read how much water is inside to know how much fell.
Fourth image: clear cylinder with water level marked — that’s a rain gauge.
✔ So, #5 → Rain Gauge
---
Now let’s write them in order:
1) Anemometer
2) Thermometer
3) Barometer
4) Wind Vane
5) Rain Gauge
──────────────────────────────────────
Final Answer:
1) Anemometer
2) Thermometer
3) Barometer
4) Wind Vane
5) Rain Gauge
