Mell What is the line connecting points of equal population density?
Isopleth
Isopleth. A line representing points of equal numerical value, such as population.
What connects points of equal value?
contour line
More generally, a contour line for a function of two variables is a curve connecting points where the function has the same particular value. In cartography, a contour line (often just called a “contour”) joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level.
What is a line connecting points of equal air pressure?
Isobars: lines of constant pressure. A line drawn on a weather map connecting points of equal pressure is called an “isobar”. Isobars are generated from mean sea-level pressure reports and are given in millibars.
Is a line connecting points of equal temperature?
Isotherm – A line connecting points of equal temperature.
What are 3 types of contour lines?
Contour lines are of three different kinds. They are the Index lines, Intermediate lines and the Supplementary lines.
What are the 5 Rules of contour lines?
Rule 1 – every point of a contour line has the same elevation. Rule 2 – contour lines separate uphill from downhill. Rule 3 – contour lines do not touch or cross each other except at a cliff. Rule 4 – every 5th contour line is darker in color.
What are lines of equal pressure called?
A line of constant pressure. Isobars are found ONLY on surface charts. They most commonly connect lines of equal pressure in the units of millibars. High pressure isobars generally occurs with isobars above 1010 mb while low pressure isobars occur with lower than 1010 millibars.
What causes the change in air pressure?
At sea level, standard air pressure is 29.92 inches of mercury. This change in pressure is caused by changes in air density, and air density is related to temperature. Warm air is less dense than cooler air because the gas molecules in warm air have a greater velocity and are farther apart than in cooler air.
What is the imaginary line joining places equal temperature called?
Isotherms
c) Isotherms are lines drawn on a map joining points with the same temperature. They are generally used in meteorology to show the ratio of temperature at the Earth’s surface or on a chart demonstrating steady level or steady pressure.
What are the 2 types of contour lines?
A. Contour lines are of three different kinds. They are the Index lines, Intermediate lines and the Supplementary lines.
Why can’t contour lines cross?
Contour lines never cross on a topographic map because each line represents the same elevation level of the land.
What are the lines connecting points of equal temperature called?
On a Weather Map, the lines connecting points of equal temperature are called Isotherms.Similarly, the lines that connect points of equal barometric pressure are called Isobars. What are the lines connecting points of equal temperature on a weather map?
What does the Skey code in IsoGen mean?
Below is a brief description about SKEY’s and some further information to help understand SKEY construction. All components generated by ISOGEN are defined by a unique code called an SKEY (symbol key).

How does an Isoline map show the shape of the ground?
A map that shows the shape of the ground as well as location and elevation of surface features using contour lines.
