The word isobar derives from the two ancient Greek words, ισος (isos), meaning 'equal', and βαρος(baros), meaning 'weight'.
- In meteorology, an isobar is a contour line of equal or constant pressure on a graph, plot, or map. (For further discussion, see under Contour line)
- In nuclear physics, two nuclides with the same mass number are called isobars. For example, boron-12 and carbon-12 are isobars.
- Isobar has also occasionally been used as a synonym for a heat pipe.
- Isobar is the title of a 2007 Science Fiction film.
- Isobar is an international network of digital marketing agencies.
- Isobar is a nightclub in Hobart.

What are lines joining areas with equal air pressure called?
isobars
What are lines on a map joining areas of similar air pressured called?
isobars
By looking at a weather map how could you identify an area that is receiving strong winds?
by regions where the isobars are close together:D ...A+
Which group of terms describes lines on a map?
They could be: Latitudes and longitudes, Gridlines, Isobars, isotherms, contours, National or regional boundaries.
Line connecting points of equal atmosphere pressure?
The lines on a map for pressure stands for Isobars which they are lines on a map around areas with the same pressure readings to indicate highs and lows.
What is the similarities between isobars and isotherms?
what is the similaraties between isobars and isotherms ]
What is the purpose of isobars?
Isobars show different pressure areas on a weather map.
Where would you generally see isobars?
Yea, where would you generally see isobars??
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.
Examples of isobars in chemistry?
Isobars 7N14, 6C14 2He3, 1H3 92U239, 93Np239
What type of weather map show isobars on a weather map?
A map with isobars is a front map.
On a weather map wind speeds are related to?
the spacing of isobars is the correct answer
Do isobars help you predict which way the air will move?
Yes they do. Scientists make maps with isobars on them.
What measures isobars?
Isobars measure the air pressure in the sky and our atmosphere! I hope I helped a little!
When isobars are close together this means that there will be?
High winds. The closer the isobars - the higher the wind speed will be.
How do you determine low pressure and high pressure using isobars on a weather map?
High pressure: The isobars will be far apart. Low pressure: The isobars will be very close together.
