Aneroid barometers are used for measuring which of the following pressures? 

Aneroid barometers are used for measuring which of the following pressures?  Correct Answer Local atmospheric

Explanation:

Aneroid Barometer:

  • A barometer is a scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. Pressure tendency can forecast short-term changes in the weather. Many measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, pressure systems, and frontal boundaries.
  • An aneroid barometer is used to measure local atmospheric pressure. Aneroid means without the liquid but in barometer we use mercury.
  • This is the main difference between a barometer and an aneroid barometer.
