Q

An instrument that maintains a continuous record of humidity changes is called a __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between instruments that measure temperature, pressure, and humidity • The meaning of the root words: thermo-, baro-, and hygro- • Which instrument types record continuously versus give an instant reading

💭 Think About

• First match each word part (thermo, baro, hygro, -graph, -meter) with what it measures or does. • Decide which option refers to humidity, not temperature or pressure. • Among the remaining choices, identify which one is designed to record changes over time, not just show the value at a single moment.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is associated with humidity rather than heat or atmospheric pressure. • Check which suffix (-meter vs -graph) is used for recording data continuously. • Eliminate any instruments that you commonly see for temperature or pressure only, not for humidity.
