An isoline is a line connecting points of equal value . Isolines are
often used on maps to represent points of equal value. This is a list of some
common (as well as obscure) types of Isolines. The prefix "iso-"
means "equal."
Meteorologists use Isolines to quickly show these temperature differences
on a map. Isolines are effective because they very quickly communicate the
distributions being examined.
