What's the difference between geothermometer and thermometer?
Geothermometer
Definition:
(n.) A thermometer specially constructed for measuring temperetures at a depth below the surface of the ground.
Example Sentences:
Thermometer
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for measuring temperature, founded on the principle that changes of temperature in bodies are accompained by proportional changes in their volumes or dimensions.
