A primary reason for drawing isotherms on a map of temperature values is to allow: A) determination of temperature ranges. B) elimination of extreme values. C) calculation of mean values. D) recognition of temperature patterns.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drawing isotherms on a map of temperature values allows for recognition of temperature patterns by visually depicting areas of similar temperature values, which can reveal patterns such as temperature gradients, differences between regions, and climatic zones. The other options (determination of temperature ranges, elimination of extreme values, calculation of mean values) are potential purposes of analyzing temperature data, but not specifically related to using isotherms on a map.
