Why would meteorologist use station models to represent data on a map?

4. B. Isotherms:
- lines that connect points of equal air temperature.

5. C. Isobars: - lines that connect points of equal air pressure.
- show centers of high and low pressure
High pressure has high numbers at it center
Low pressure has low numbers at it center

6. II. Rules for Drawing Isolines:
1. Isolines do not touch or cross.
2. Isolines tend to run parallel to each other.
3. Isolines form closed loops or run off the page.

7. Closure:
