Question

Imaginary lines joining places the equal value of some distribution is called
A. Isobars
B. Isohyets
C. Isobaths
D. Isopleths

Answer 1

Hint: It is derived from the Ancient Greek word that implies "plenty" or "a large number". The word " plethora" is the root word of those imaginary lines. The word iso means “identical” or “equal”.

Complete Answer:
Let us look at the options and discuss the solution.
Option A. The horizontal distribution of pressure is appeared by isobars. Isobars are imaginary lines joining the spots having equivalent estimations of pressure. Thus, it is an incorrect option.

Option B. An isohyet or isohyetal line is a line joining purposes of equivalent precipitation on a guide in a given period. A guide with isohyets is called an isohyetal map. Thus, it is an incorrect option.

Option C. Isobath is a nonexistent line or one drawn on a map interfacing all purposes of equivalent depth beneath the surface of a waterway. Thus, it is an incorrect option.

Option D. The term isopleth is obtained from two words isos + plethron; isos meaning same and plethron imply measure. In this way, isopleths are the nonexistent lines of equivalent incentive in the form of amount, force, and volume. They are expressed as contour lines at some chosen span. Thus, it is the correct option.

Hence the correct answer is Option D.

Note: Geological maps indicating shapes of equivalent rise are likely the most widely recognized sort of isopleth maps.
-Hills are appeared by concentric shape isopleths, and depressions, for example, volcanic holes are appeared by concentric forms with hachures highlighting the focal point of the downturn.
-Isopleths are used to the pressure maps to show lines of equivalent pneumatic stress (isobars) and equivalent temperature (isotherms).
