Question

Define the term Isobars.

Answer 1

Isobars are imaginary lines drawn on weather maps that join points of equal atmospheric pressure, as if all these points are at sea level. They help in showing the distribution of atmospheric pressure across different regions on the map. If isobars are close together, it indicates a steep pressure gradient and usually windy or stormy weather. If they are far apart, it indicates a gentle pressure gradient and calm weather conditions.
