Question

How do meteorologists use isotherms and isobars?

A. To identity high- and low-pressure systems
B. To identify areas of high and low water vapor
C. To differentiate between seasons
D. To provide estimates for the amount of direct sunlight received

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. To identify high- and low-pressure systems

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotherms and Isobars are Isolines that show in a curved line the points in where the value of the variable is the same, Isotherms show Temperature and Isobars show Pressure. One of the main uses for meteorologists is to identify how the atmosphere is behaving in a given point, this could lead to the identification of high and low-pressure systems. To identify these pressure systems the meteorologist analyzes the Isoterms and Isobars to locate a System and when they find a given system ( Circle-shaped Isobars) they measure whether the pressure is decreasing or increasing going towards the center of the system.

If the isobars show a decrease of pressure towards the center of the system it is a low-pressure system

If the isobars show and increase of pressure towards the center of the system it is a high-pressure system.

Answer 2

A. To identity high- and low-pressure systems

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotherms are imaginary line joining the places which received by the equal amount of temperature. Isotherms are regular in southern hemisphere and irregular manner in northern hemisphere because of preponderance of land in northern hemisphere. Isobars are imaginary line joining the places which received by the equal amount of pressure. Isotherm and Isobars are measured and it revealed the data about the temperature, pressure, direction of moving wind, precipitation and so on.
