Not all isotherms run in an east-west direction, but most of them do. This is because latitude determines the temperature and climate of different regions. For example, the Tropics have higher temperatures than the Polar regions because it is closer to the equator. Lines of latitude run in an east-west direction, and thus isotherms, which is type of contour line or surface on a map that connects or indicates points of equal temperature, usually run in an east-west direction too.

What region of the world does isotherms run straight across the map from east to west?
middle of north america
How are isobars and isotherms alike?
Isobars are lines of equal pressure, isotherms are lines of equal temperature. And isobars are pretty and gorgeous, and isotherms are thermometers.
Were latitude the only control of temperature the isotherms would run straight across the maps from east to west?
That seems like a reasonable conjecture.

What are lines on a weather map than join places that have the same temp?
Such lines are called isotherms.
Why do isotherms not run parallel?
Because the unequal distribution of land and water and ocean currents influence their direction.
Why are isotherms generally parallel across the US?
Isotherms connect points of equal temperature on a weather map. The lines of isotherms naturally run parallel to each other. Their spacing indicates temperature variance.

What is a person that studies isotherms?
Isotherms are contour lines on maps that connect points on a weather map that have equal temperatures at a given time. Meteorologist study isotherms on weather maps.
