Drawing Isolines

Isolines that connect like temperature are called ...

• contours

• isolines

• isotherms

• isobars

Lines that connect points of equal pressure are called?

• Isobars
• Isolines
• Isotherms
• Contour lines

Isolines Isolines connect points of (unequal, equal) value

• unequal

• equal

Do isotherm map lines ever cross?

• Depending weather front conditions

• Never

• Pretty regularly

• Rarely, only under extenuating circumstances at the poles

Each contour line is used to connect points that have the same elevation, therefore, they 

• Always cross
• Never cross 

Lines on a topographic map that connect lines of equal elevation:

• contour lines
• contour interval
• index contour
• contour loops
