An isoline map is a map with continuous lines joining points of the same value. Examples would be equal altitude (contour lines), temperature (isotherms), barometric pressure (isobars), wind speed (isotachs), wind direction (isogon), wind shear (isoshear), etc. As with some of the other thematic maps in this blog an Isoline is used for interpreting information. This particular map shows the altitude for China using the isolines to distinguish the difference in this variable.
