Presentation transcript:

Isolines An isoline is a line connecting points of equal value.

Examples of isolines: (The weather channel loves isolines!) Isotherms: points of equal temperature Isobar: points of equal barometric (air) pressure Contour: points of equal altitude Concentration of chemicals Anything else you can get a value for. (The weather channel loves isolines!)

Rules for Drawing Isolines: 1. Isolines connect points of equal value. 5 5 10 10 10 10 15 15

2. Isolines are gentle, curving lines- no sharp corners. 5 5 10 10 10 10 15 15

3. Isolines are always closed curves even though the map might only show part of it.

4. Isolines NEVER cross- this would mean that one point has two different values. Ex: one spot has two temperatures? 60 ° 50 ° 40 ° 30 ° X 20° Z Y

5. Isolines usually are parallel. (They have a parallel trend.)

Gradient Gradient shows how quickly the value changes from one point to another.

A gentle (low) gradient changes slowly and the lines are far apart. A steep (high) gradient changes quickly and the isolines are close together. A gentle (low) gradient changes slowly and the lines are far apart. Steep area Gentle area
