🛑 Additional Information::
-Isohytes are the imaginary lines joining the points of equal rainfall.
-An isohyet is a contour line drawn on maps that connect places or points that received the same amount of rainfall or precipitation at a given period of time.
-It is used to represent areas that received similar amount of rain or equal density of rain during a particular storm.
-These lines help to estimate the various rainfall parameters like the minimum and maximum, average rainfall of a particular region.
-A map formed by these isohyetal lines is called the isohyetal map.
• A list of lines and the parameters they represent:
-Isohyets: Points of equal rainfall
-Contour: Points of equal elevation
-Isoclinic: Points of equal dip (magnetic dip)
-Isogonic: Points of equal magnetic declination
-Isobars: Points of equal pressure
-Isohume: Points of equal humidity
-Isotherm: Points of equal temperature
-Isohel: Points of equal duration of sunshine
