Isobars are a point or line drawn on map that connects the places of constant pressure e.g, atmospheric pressure or sea level.

What can isobars tell you about windspeed?

an isobar can tell you the wind mileage and the strength of the wind


What is the difference isotherm and isobar?

Isobars are lines of equal pressure, isotherms are lines of equal temperature. And isobars are pretty and gorgeous, and isotherms are thermometers.


What is icobar?

If you meant isobar - An isobar is a line on a map showing air pressure. the closer the isobars are packed together, the lower the pressure, and stronger the wind is.


What are the lines on a map that connect points of equal pressure called?

The isolines that connect the points of equal atmospheric pressure are called iseidomal. These terms are common when using the barometer.


What are example of isobar?

Isobarsargon-40, calcium-40, sulphur-40, potassium-40 are example of isobars....


How do isobars indicate wind speed?

Isobars that are close together indicate stronger wind speed, where the wind blows parallel to the lines connecting points of equal pressure. The closer the isobars are together, the stronger the pressure gradient force, leading to faster winds.


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.


Do isobars have the same atomic mass?

It depends on how picky you want to be. Yes, having the same number of nucleons they have practically the same atomic mass. No, because they don't have exactly the same atomic mass due to differences in the nuclear binding energy (and hence aren't truly "isobars", even though that's what they're called). (NB: this usage of "isobar" is from nuclear chemistry and means "nuclei with the same number of nucleons." It's not the meteorological isobar, which is something quite different and wouldn't make any sense in the context of the question.)


What is the difference between an isobar map and an isothern map?

An isobar map displays lines connecting points of equal atmospheric pressure, while an isotherm map shows lines connecting points of equal temperature. Isobar maps are used in meteorology to show weather patterns, while isotherm maps are helpful in understanding temperature distributions.


What the purpose of isobars?

Isobar is a line on a map connecting points having the same atmospheric pressure, at a given time, or an average over a given period


What does an isobar on a map tell?

It joins places of similar barometric pressure


What does an isobar on a weather map indicate?

isobars are a measure of atmospheric pressure. variations in atmospheric pressure basically cause weather - high pressure vs low pressure, etc.
