Q

An instrument designed to maintain a continuous record of atmospheric pressure is a(n) __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between instruments that measure pressure vs. those that measure temperature • Which instruments record continuously over time versus those that only show the current value • The meaning of the suffix -graph compared to -meter

💭 Think About

• Look at which choices are associated with atmospheric pressure and which with temperature • Decide which instrument would create a written or plotted trace over time, not just display a single reading • Compare the words in each choice to see which one suggests recording/graphing rather than just measuring

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which options are specifically used for measuring atmospheric pressure • Identify which term implies a continuous record (a graph or trace) • Eliminate any option that is clearly associated with temperature rather than pressure
