Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: This map shows elevation


1
  • This map shows elevation
  • Lines that connect places with equal elevation
    are called contour lines
  • The contour lines show us areas of high and low
    elevation, and where there is a big difference
    (the gradient)

2
  • Where contours are close together there is a
    steep gradient (big difference over a short
    distance)

3
  • Lines that connect equal temperatures are
    isotherms

Lines that connect equal pressures are isobars
