An isoline is used on maps to represent points of equal value. The isoline for air pressure is an isobar.
Meteorologists draw lines called isobars on weather maps to connect locations with the same air pressure. Wind blows from areas of high to low pressure.
Lines of Barometric pressure
Pressure is the amount of air in one location which varies depending on temperature and other factors. You get high pressure when the air falls and low pressure when the air rises. However,there are different temperatures of air at lower levels of the atmosphere and where these air "masses" as they are called meet, you get a weather front. They do affect each other - low pressure systems (depressions) have different air masses entangled into it and therefore there are fronts in low pressures. Depressions also generally move around and between high pressures (anticyclones) and so high pressures do not move around as much as depressions. Pressure and fronts are often shown on the same weather image and the lines are called isobars which are lines of equal pressure. A front is where two air masses meet. Pressure is the amount of air.

A diagram of air pressure could be represented on a weather map. This map would use isobars - lines that connect areas with the same atmospheric pressure - to show areas of high and low pressure. The spacing of the isobars indicates the strength of the pressure gradient, which affects wind speed and direction.

Meteorologists draw lines to indicate air pressure, which are called isobars.

On a weather map, the lines that connect points with equal barometric pressure are called Isobars.Iso = equalbar = pressure
Lines of Barometric pressure
The boundary where air masses meet becomes a?

Isobars are lines of areas with similar air pressure, with the areas in between the lines gradually leading up to the next line. Isotherms are lines of areas with similar temperature.
Lines of equal (iso) air pressure (barometric).Similar concepts are isohypnals (equal contours of rainfall); and isopachs, lines of equal thickness of a deposit; and isotherms which concern temperature.
Those lines are isobars. They indicate the line at which air is at that certain air pressure.
