Classification of Sedimentary Rocks (Part 1). Sedimentary rocks are classified based on their texture and composition. Detrital sediment has a clastic (broken) texture. Chemical and organic sediments have a non-clastic texture, and are classified based solely on their composition.
Galvanometer vs Ammeter. Ammeter and galvanometer are two devices that are used in the field of electronic and electrical measurements. Galvanometer is a very important device that is used to develop other measuring devices. It is also used to measure electrical currents. Ammeter is also a device that is used to measure electrical current.
Anemometer: Anemometer, device for measuring the speed of airflow in the atmosphere, in wind tunnels, and in other gas-flow applications. Most widely used for wind-speed measurements is the revolving-cup electric anemometer, in which the revolving cups drive an electric generator. The output of the generator operates an electric meter that is calibrated in wind speed. The useful range of this device is approximately from 5 to 100 knots. A propeller may also be used to drive the electric generator, as in the propeller anemometer. In another type of wind-driven unit, revolving vanes operate a counter, the revolutions being timed by a stopwatch and converted to airspeed.
