Is air everywhere equal in pressure?
No. The pressure changes depending on elevation and also the current weather.
How does wind get started?
Wind is caused by differences in air pressure from place to place. If you look at a weather forecast map, you should see lines of equal pressure, these are called isobars. If you see a large area of equal pressure, the winds in that area will be light, this is called an anticyclone. If you see an area with the isobars close together there will be strong winds there. In extreme cases usually in tropical areas where there is a high amount of power from the sun, the isobars will form a circle with a very low pressure in the centre, and a hurricane will be formed.
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is the what?
The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure is the boiling point. Evaporation is when vaporization of an uncontained liquid occurs.
How does the human body resist the atmospheric pressure?
because our body pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure.
Is pressure equal in all directions?
Yes it is
What is a line on a weather map called?
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.
What are the lines that Meteorologists draw called?
Those most often seen on weather charts are isobars. These connect areas of equal atmospheric pressure.
What is a line drawn on a weather chart or map?
They are isobars: Places of equal air pressure. Air pressure then tells you the speed and properties of wind. The closer together the isobars, the stronger the winds. You can tell what direction the winds are by looking at the high and low pressure cells, in the southern hemisphere wind travels anti clockwise around high pressure systems, and clockwise around low pressure systems. If the wind is coming onshore, the wind will be moist. If it is coming over dry land it will be dry, and probably hot, for example if your on the east coast of Australia and the wind is a westerly (traveling from west to east across the hot dry desert) it can be assumed that this wind will bring hot and dry conditions to those areas along the east coast.
What isobar can measure?
Isobars are lines of equal atmospheric pressure.
What are the lines in a weather map that connect points of equal air pressure?
On a weather map, the lines that connect points with equal barometric pressure are called Isobars.Iso = equalbar = pressure
Is air everywhere equal in pressure?
No. The pressure changes depending on elevation and also the current weather.
What is a line on a weather map connecting points of equal pressure's?
Isobar
Do places having equal pressure connected by isotherms on a weather map?
No, they do not
What is the purpose of an isobar?
A line on a weather map connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure.
What do Meteorologists draw lines called blank on weather maps to connect locations with the same air 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.
What are line connecting points of equal temperature?
The answer is very simple it's an isotherm map because an isobar map are lines that connect areas of the same pressure therefore lines that connect areas of the same temperature is and isotherm map
What are lines joining areas with equal air pressure called?
isobars
