Isoline Map

Isoline maps contain continuous lines that connect points with the same or similar values. This type of map is useful to display trends of various factors like temperature and altitude. In the example above, one is able to see the isolines connecting points with similar atmospheric pressure. These connected lines help meteorologists find areas of high and low pressures that is essential to weather prediction. http://www.nic.edu/mathsci/bdrichar/LAbKeys/isoline-practice.htm
