Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isobars are contour lines on a weather map that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. They are used by meteorologists to visually show areas of high and low pressure, as well as pressure gradients. Isotherms, on the other hand, connect points of equal temperature, and isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons, but a different number of neutrons. Therefore, the correct choice is A.
