Detailed explanation-1: -Daily weather map showing isobars i.e. places having equal pressure is an example of Isopleth map.
Detailed explanation-2: -Isobars are the plain lines curving across the map. They connect points with the same mean sea level air pressure (weight per square area of air above). Some isobars have numbers on them showing this value in hectopascals (hPa). Isobars indicate the flow of air around weather systems.
Detailed explanation-3: -Isobars are lines/areas of equal pressure represented on a weather map. When isobars become very tightly grouped together it indicates a “tight pressure gradient” (steep slope). The tightly packed isobars are due to the difference in air pressure between between High and Low pressure systems.
