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
