Answer:
Distribution of temperature across the latitudes over the surface of the earth is called its horizontal distribution. On maps, the horizontal distribution of temperature is commonly shown by isotherms. Isotherms are line connecting points that have an equal temperature.

Answer:
Distribution of temperature varies both horizontally and vertically.
A) Horizontal Distribution of Temperature
B) Vertical Distribution of Temperature
A) Horizontal Distribution of Temperature
- Distribution of temperature across the latitudes over the surface of the earth is called its horizontal distribution.
- On maps, the horizontal distribution of temperature is commonly shown by isotherms.
- Isotherms are line connecting points that have an equal temperature.
B) Vertical Distribution of Temperature
- We have already studied that the temperature in the troposphere decreases with an increase in the altitude.
- This vertical gradient of temperature is commonly referred to as the standard atmosphere or Normal Lapse Rate.
- However, this normal lapse rate varies with height, season, latitude and other factors.
- Indeed the actual lapse rate of temperature does not always show a decrease with altitude.
