Q

Lines drawn through points on the Earth having the same atmospheric pressure are known by which term?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Atmospheric pressure as used in marine weather charts • Common prefixes like iso- in meteorology and what they describe • Difference between units of pressure and lines connecting equal values

💭 Think About

• On a surface weather chart, what are the curved lines that encircle high and low pressure systems called? • Which option names a type of line rather than a unit of measurement or an unrelated phenomenon? • Think about what the prefix iso- means in science and which word here is normally paired with pressure.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes lines connecting equal values (not the values themselves) • Eliminate any answer that refers to temperature or earthquake activity • Check which term you’ve seen on marine weather maps around areas marked H and L
