Not all isotherms run in an east-west direction, but most of them do. This is because latitude determines the temperature and climate of different regions. For example, the Tropics have higher temperatures than the Polar regions because it is closer to the equator. Lines of latitude run in an east-west direction, and thus isotherms, which is type of contour line or surface on a map that connects or indicates points of equal temperature, usually run in an east-west direction too.

Why do isotherms not run parallel?

Because the unequal distribution of land and water and ocean currents influence their direction.


Why are isotherms generally parallel across the US?

Isotherms connect points of equal temperature on a weather map. The lines of isotherms naturally run parallel to each other. Their spacing indicates temperature variance.


The general trend of the isotherms are from north to south or east to west?

The general trend of isotherms is typically from north to south. Isotherms show lines of equal temperature, so they tend to shift in a north-south direction due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the distribution of sunlight across latitudes.

What region of the world does isotherms run straight across the map from east to west?

Isotherms that run straight across the map from east to west are typically found in the tropical regions near the equator. This is because the temperature in these regions is relatively consistent throughout the year due to the amount of sunlight they receive.
