Distance between isotherms indicates :

  • A.Temperature gradient
  • B.Pressure anomaly
  • C.Temperature lag
  • D.Deviation from normal temperature

Answer: A

The distance between isotherms indicates the temperature gradient.

Isotherms join places with the same temperature. Where they are close together, temperature changes quickly over a short distance, a steep gradient, as across coasts and fronts; where they are far apart, temperature changes slowly, a gentle gradient, as over large uniform oceans.

Pressure anomalies are shown by isobars, not isotherms. Temperature lag is the delay between the time of maximum insolation and maximum temperature, and the deviation from normal temperature is shown on isanomal maps. The spacing of isotherms measures none of these.
