Answer 4

Isotherms are lines of constant or equal temperature. They are often used on weather maps by meteorologists to give a large-scale view of temperatures across the U.S. If you have ever looked at a weather map in a newspaper, the isotherms are used to divide the color-filled temperatures. In the map above, temperatures from the 60s to 70° may be represented by a yellow color, while temperatures in the 70s to 80° may be represented by an orange color. The line that divides the yellow from the orange is the isotherm.
