Question

difference between isotherms and isohyets ?

Answer 1

Isotherm:

Isotherm is a type of line, drawn on the map which connects several places with same temperature in a specific time or an average period of time.

Isohyet:

Isohyet is a type of line drawn on the map which connects several places with same amount of rainfall in a specific time or an average period of time.

So the main difference between isotherm and isohyet is,isotherm represents places with same temperature where isohyet represents places with same amount of rainfall in the map.

Answer 2

Answer:

As explained under.

Explanation:

• An isotherm is a type of line, that represents the equal areas of temperatures, pressures and thus is the boundary of the distinct air mass that has a contrasting density, moisture, and temperature.  

• While the isohyets are the lines that represent equal cloud covers. and the same rainfall patterns. Thus they show the same patterns rainfall characterize over the given regions.

• Both these lines, in turn, give us the seasonal patterns of the air and the reversals of winds along with moisture contents related to the cloud formations and the wind directions.
