Which would show stronger winds widely spaced isobars or closely spaced isobars?
Closely spaced isobars mean stronger winds, as it indicates a tight pressure gradient.
Based on the weather map where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds?
Where isobars are spaced closest together
How are isobars and isotherms alike?
Isobars are lines of equal pressure, isotherms are lines of equal temperature. And isobars are pretty and gorgeous, and isotherms are thermometers.
WHAT DO Isobars represent?
Isobars on a map represent areas on the map of similar atmospheric pressure.
What are Isobars and what does it mean when they are close together?
It means that there is a steep gradient, or pressure change, and strong winds.
Which would show stronger winds widely spaced isobars or closely spaced isobars?
Closely spaced isobars mean stronger winds, as it indicates a tight pressure gradient.
What does close spacing of isobars on the weather map represent?
Closely spaced isobars indicate large pressure changes over a small area and suggest strengthening winds.Widely spaced isobars portray a "flat" or weak pressure gradient typical of light-wind situations.
How are isobars used?
in graphs to indicate lines of equal pressureIsobars show wind speed. The closer the isobars are spaced - the stronger the wind is.
How can you locate region of low wind speed on a weather map?
where isobars are spaced far apart.
Why at times is the air very still?
This happen when there pressure differences in the atmosphere are very slight (the isobars are widely spaced).
Where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds based on a weather map?
Where isobars are spaced closest together
Based on the weather map where would you expect to find the highest wind speeds?
Where isobars are spaced closest together
You can locate regions of low wind speed on a weather map by locating what?
regions where isobars are spaced far apart
As wind velocity decreases the distance between isobars on a weather map will?
Increase. Isobars represent lines of constant atmospheric pressure, and when wind velocity decreases, the pressure gradient weakens. A weaker pressure gradient results in isobars being spaced further apart on a weather map.
How do you use isobars in a sentence?
The weatherman pointed to the innermost isobar, surrounded by several more, closely spaced to appear rather like a fingerprint.
Widely spaced isobars often indicate?
They indicate a large pressure difference over a small area, which will cause strong winds.
What do isobars indicate when they are far apart?
Light windsWidely-spaced isobars indicate low wind speeds.
