🔍 Key Concepts

• Isotherm – what does the root "iso" mean in meteorological terms? • The difference between lines showing equal temperature and lines showing equal pressure on a weather map • Common weather-map terms: isotherm, isobar, and what each connects

💭 Think About

• Look at which choices mention temperature only versus temperature and pressure together • Ask yourself: on a standard surface weather map, what is the line called that connects locations with the same temperature? • Compare the term for equal temperature with the term used for equal barometric pressure – which option is mixing them up?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option refers only to temperature (not pressure) • Verify you are not confusing isotherm with isobar (equal pressure) • Eliminate any answer choice that describes an instrument rather than a line on a map
