Santorio santorio invented the first recorded thermometer in 1612. galileo invented the thermometer’s predecessor, the thermoscope, in 1596. what is the difference between these two devices?
the thermoscope didn’t measure temperature differences.

a thermometer is portable but a thermoscope must be stationary.

a thermoscope measures degrees in celsius and a thermometer in kelvin.

santorio’s thermometer required mercury to work properly.

1. variations in a population of moths allow for some of its members to be able to adapt to environmental changes. the better adapted of the moths will be able to survive the change and thus prevail as the “fittest” of the species. (a) describe three mechanisms in which variation can occur within a species population. (b) explain which mechanism or mechanisms would be responsible for the survival of a population of peppered moths better than white moths in an environment affected by industrial soot. justify your answer.
