Over the next 200 years‚ devices were developed for measuring wind speed‚ humidity‚ and other important qualities of the atmosphere. Scientists used these instruments to record the periodical trends that are known as climate. However‚ they still

In a study on the activity of cave crickets‚ they found that 45 percent of crickets moving out of the cave was affected by temperature and humidity (Campbell 1976). This shows that there was some sort of relationship between temperature and movement of crickets out of the cave. Since this study was done during
