On the temperature field map, isotherms are drawn every 2 °C. What temperature best fits point T?

A student's snowfall field map has two isolines crossing directly over one town. Why is that drawing wrong?
What does the contour interval tell a map reader?

On the pressure field map, isobars are drawn every 4 millibars. What pressure should be recorded at point L?

A line on a weather map connects stations that all have 18 °C air temperature. What kind of isoline is it?
A student draws the 8 °C isotherm through stations labeled 8 °C, 8 °C, and 12 °C. Which station does not belong on that isotherm?
On a field map, an isoline approaches the edge of the mapped area without closing. What should it do at the edge?

Why are isolines usually drawn as smooth curves when the measured field changes gradually?
On a pressure field map, the 1004 and 1016 millibar isobars are 300 km apart. What is the pressure gradient between them?

A temperature field changes from 4 °C to 16 °C over 120 km. What is the temperature gradient?

A temperature field has closed isotherms labeled 24 °C, 26 °C, and 28 °C, with values increasing toward the center. What does the center mark?

On a pressure field map, isobars are packed tightly near a low-pressure center and spread out near a high-pressure center. Where is the pressure gradient largest?

A field map has closed snowfall isolines of 5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm, with larger totals toward the center. Where is the maximum snowfall most likely found?

A student marks the distance between two towns on a map onto a strip of paper and lays it along a ruler, as shown. The map's bar scale shows 1 cm represents 4 km. How far apart are the towns on the ground?

A student marks a trail's length on a map onto a strip of paper and lays it along a ruler, as shown. The map's bar scale shows 1 cm represents 10 km. What ground distance does the trail represent?

A student traces a shoreline's length on a map onto a strip of paper and lays it along a ruler, as shown. The map's bar scale shows 2 cm represents 5 km. How long is the shoreline on the ground?

A student marks a route's length on a regional map onto a strip of paper and lays it along a ruler, as shown. The map's bar scale shows 5 cm represents 100 km. What ground distance does the route represent?

A student marks the straight-line distance between two cities on a map onto a strip of paper and lays it along a ruler, as shown. The map scale states 1 cm represents 25 km. What is the cities' ground distance?
