7-11 How do you read a weather map?
SWBAT: Read and interpret a weather map.
Isobar - line on a weather map that connects points of equal air pressure
Isotherm: line on a weather map that joins places that have the same temperature
• Weather maps use symbols to show the weather for an area.
• Isobars are used to connect points that have equal atmospheric, or air, pressure.
• An area of high pressure usually means clear skies; an area of low pressure usually brings cloudy skies and possibly precipitation.
