Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isobars are lines that connect points of equal pressure. When they are close together, it means that there is a rapid change in pressure over a short distance, indicating a high pressure gradient. Conversely, when isobars are far apart, there is a slow change in pressure over a long distance, indicating a low pressure gradient.
