What are lines that are parallel and run?
parallel lines. they run side by side but never intersect
Which lines run horzonally parallel to each other?
parallel lines.....
Is two lines connected by their perpendicular is parallel?
Parallel lines run in the same direction. If they are intersected by one line and that line is perpendicular to both, then it proves that the lines run parallel to each other.
What units are measured for isotherms?
Usually degrees Celsius.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
Why are isotherms generally parallel across the US?
Isotherms connect points of equal temperature on a weather map. The lines of isotherms naturally run parallel to each other. Their spacing indicates temperature variance.
Why do isotherms run in an east-west direction?
Not all isotherms run in an east-west direction, but most of them do. This is because latitude determines the temperature and climate of different regions. For example, the Tropics have higher temperatures than the Polar regions because it is closer to the equator. Lines of latitude run in an east-west direction, and thus isotherms, which is type of contour line or surface on a map that connects or indicates points of equal temperature, usually run in an east-west direction too.
What region of the world does isotherms run straight across the map from east to west?
middle of north america
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.
Which sentence uses parallelism?
gang
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
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.
What are lines that are parallel and run?
parallel lines. they run side by side but never intersect
Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
As the temperature difference between two points increases what happens to the spacing of the isotherms?
The isotherms get closer together
