Question

Comparison of the isobars in the northern and the southern hemispheres.

Observe the map given above and study the distribution of air pressure and answer the question.

Answer 1

In the northern hemisphere, the isobars are far spaced and uneven, whereas in the southern hemispheres it is closely spaced and parallel.

The spacing of isobars indicates the pressure gradient.
The close spacing of isobars expresses the high-pressure gradient in Southern Hemisphere and the wide spacing of isobars in the Northern Hemisphere indicates less pressure gradient.
