Isolines

Isolines that connect like temperature are called ...

• contours

• isolines

• isotherms

• isobars

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 

Are these isolines drawn correctly?

• Yes

• No
