2 1. This instrument measures air pressure. 2. This pressure measuring instrument is 31inches tall. 3. This type of pressure measuring instrument uses a closed can and is very small. 4. Wind always moves from _________ pressure to __________ pressure. 5. (True/False) Convection currents are caused by even heating. 6. 29inches of mercury is a reading that you would get from a ________ barometer. 7. This type of barometer is also used as an altimeter. 8. On a pressure map, closely spaced isobars means that you will have _______ winds. (fast/slow) 9. How many atmospheres of pressure do we have at sea level?
