There are several different lines on a weather map. Lines with triangles leading out from them are referred to as cold fronts, while lines with semi-circles leading out from them are warm fronts. There are also lines on a weather map that are called isobars. They connect areas of equal barometric pressure.
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.
Yes
On a weather map, high wind speeds are indicated where thin lines with arrows are spaced close together. This indicates strong winds and the direction in which they will move.

isobars lines of equal pressure
On a weather map, the lines that connect points with equal barometric pressure are called Isobars.Iso = equalbar = pressure

Those lines are "isobars."

Yes
Those lines are isobars. They indicate the line at which air is at that certain air pressure.
Usually they are lines of iso-density - or equal pressure. Thus the closer they are, the harder the wind.
Learning and remember weather related terms can be difficult. The lines between two pressure systems are usually called troughs or isobars.Ê
