🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between wind speed (velocity) and wind direction • Common meteorological instruments: barometer, anemometer, psychrometer • Which devices are instruments with numerical readings vs. simple indicators

💭 Think About

• Which of these choices is specifically designed to give a numerical value for how fast the wind is moving? • Which option is mainly for pressure, which for humidity, and which for visual indication of wind direction? • On a ship’s bridge or at a weather station, what instrument would be connected to a display showing knots or meters per second of wind?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each device to what it measures: pressure, humidity, wind speed, or just direction/strength indication • Ask yourself: does this device usually have a scale or dial with numbers on it for wind speed? • Eliminate any option whose primary purpose is not to measure wind speed quantitatively
