    Question: What is an isohyet?

    Options:

    Height
    Altitude
    Rainfall
    Temperature

    ✅Explanation: An isohyet is a line on a map or chart that connects points receiving equal amounts of rainfall over a specified period. Isohyets are used in meteorology and climatology to represent rainfall distribution over a region.

    📌Other Options Explanations:
    -(a) Height: Height is measured in meters or fee.
    -(b) Altitude: Altitude refers to the height above sea level.
    -(d) Temperature: Temperature is represented by isotherms.

    🛑 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
