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
What are lines on a weather map than join places that have the same temp?
Isolines, specifically isotherms, are lines on a weather map that connect points of equal temperature. This helps to visualize temperature patterns and gradients across a geographic area.
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.
On a map what places are joined by isotherms?
Isotherms on a map join places that have the same average temperature. This means that all points connected by an isotherm line will have similar temperature patterns. The spacing between isotherms indicates temperature gradients across an area.
What are the three tendencies for drawing isolines?
The three tendencies for drawing isolines are to maintain smoothness (avoid abrupt changes in direction), maintain uniform spacing between isolines, and ensure isolines do not intersect or overlap.
What do isobars and isotherms show on a weather map?
Isobars show lines of equal atmospheric pressure, helping to identify areas of high and low pressure. Isotherms show lines of equal temperature, indicating temperature variations across a region. Both isobars and isotherms are used on weather maps to depict atmospheric pressure and temperature patterns respectively.

What is the similarities between isobars and isotherms?
what is the similaraties between isobars and isotherms ]
When gradients increase what happens to distance between isolines?
When gradients increase, the distance between isolines decreases. This is because isolines are drawn to represent a constant value, so as the change in value (gradient) increases, the isolines need to be drawn closer together to represent the change more accurately.
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?

What are lines joining places with the same temperature on a weather map?
Lines joining places with the same temperature on a weather map are called isotherms. These lines help to visualize regions with similar temperatures and can be used to identify temperature patterns across a particular area or region.
