To measure various physical quantities, different instruments are used based on the type of quantity being measured. Here are some examples:

Length: Measured in meters (m). Instruments used to measure length include rulers, tape measures, and calipers.

Mass: Measured in kilograms (kg). Instruments used to measure mass include balances and scales.

Time: Measured in seconds (s). Instruments used to measure time include clocks and stopwatches.

Temperature: Measured in degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F). Instruments used to measure temperature include thermometers.

Electric current: Measured in amperes (A). Instruments used to measure electric current include ammeters.

Voltage: Measured in volts (V). Instruments used to measure voltage include voltmeters.

Frequency: Measured in hertz (Hz). Instruments used to measure frequency include oscilloscopes and frequency counters.

Pressure: Measured in pascals (Pa). Instruments used to measure pressure include barometers and manometers.

There are many other physical quantities that can be measured, and different instruments may be used depending on the specific quantity and the required precision of the measurement.

How do you measure a volcano?

Volcanologists use many different kinds of tools including instruments that detect and record earthquakes (seismometers and seismographs) instruments that measure ground deformation (EDM, Leveling, GPS, tilt),instruments that detect and measure volcanic gases (COSPEC),instruments that determine how much lava is moving underground (VLF, EM-31), video and still cameras, infrared cameras and cameras that work remotely. This is by no means a complete list, volcanologists will use whatever tool they can to help them understand volcanoes.
