Q

Which term is given to a line on a weather chart connecting places which have the same barometric pressure?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Understand that lines on weather charts connecting equal values are generally called iso-lines • Know that barometric pressure refers to atmospheric pressure measured with a barometer • Differentiate between terms related to equal temperature, changing pressure over time, and equal pressure at one time

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which prefix or root in the options is commonly associated with pressure rather than temperature or chemistry? • Consider what a standard surface pressure weather map looks like and what the main contour lines represent. • Think about which option name you have seen labeled on maps that show highs and lows in forecast charts.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically defined as a line of equal pressure on a weather map. • Eliminate the term you know is used for equal temperature lines. • Eliminate any term that belongs more to chemistry/physics of atoms than to meteorology.
