Answer:

1. Measures air pressure ⇒ Barometer

Barometer allows us to measure what the air pressure is within a certain area.

2. Cold, Dry, air ⇒ High pressure

Cold air will tend not to rise very high into the atmosphere therefore it will lead to more pressure on the surface as it is closer to it.

3. Warm, moist air ⇒ Low Pressure

As warm air is lighter, it will rise higher into the atmosphere and exert less pressure on the surface.

4. Measures wind speed ⇒ Anemometer

Anemometer enable the measurement of wind speed. It works by counting the number of rotations of its cups in a given time. More cups mean the speed is high.

5. Measures win direction ⇒ Wind vane

A wind vane shows the direction the win is going when the wind pushes against the arrows of the wind vane.
