What units are measured for isotherms?
Usually degrees Celsius.
Do isolines tend to make parallel curves?
I think so, yes. I'm pretty sure.
Why do isotherms not run parallel?
Because the unequal distribution of land and water and ocean currents influence their direction.
What are the axioms of similarity?
Similarity isreflexive: x is similar to xsymmetric: if x is similar to y then y is similar to x.transitive: if x is similar to y and y is similar to z then x is similar to z.
Why two polygon that are similar to a third polygon must be similar to each other?
You have to think that if two are similar, the other must also be similar in order for it to be similar
What are three types of isolines?
Isobars - Measure atmospheric pressure Isotherms - Measure temperature Isoheights - Measure elevation
The lines on a synoptic map are called?
Isolines are the general name. There are different names for each variable being plotted, e.g. isotherms plot lines of equal temperature.
What do isobars and isotherms show on a weather map?
Isobars are lines of areas with similar air pressure, with the areas in between the lines gradually leading up to the next line. Isotherms are lines of areas with similar temperature.
What do isolines measure?
Be fatter
What is the similarities between isobars and isotherms?
what is the similaraties between isobars and isotherms ]
How are isobars and isotherms alike?
Isobars are lines of equal pressure, isotherms are lines of equal temperature. And isobars are pretty and gorgeous, and isotherms are thermometers.
Do isolines ever end?
They do not end
What kind of job -ologist would be interested in isotherms?
What kind of person would be interested in isotherms?
What is a person that studies isotherms?
Isotherms are contour lines on maps that connect points on a weather map that have equal temperatures at a given time. Meteorologist study isotherms on weather maps.
A topographic map is a two-demensional model that uses isolines to represent places of equal?
elevation please go to www.freewebs.com/mccniu (isolines aren't on it)
As the temperature difference between two points increases what happens to the spacing of the isotherms?
The isotherms get closer together
Compare and contrast isobars and isotherms?
Isobars are lines that eqaul pressure isotherms are line that equal tempature
