How do meteorologists use isotherms and isobars?

a. to identity high- and low-pressure systems
b. to identify areas of high and low water vapor
c. to differentiate between seasons
d. to provide estimates for the amount of direct sunlight received

A. To identity high- and low-pressure systems

Explanation:

Isobars are similar to the level lines on a topographic map, showing areas of similar pressure, they are also drawn in circles to represent the areas of similar air pressure over a geographical map.

Isotherms are usually displayed in color showing areas over a map that have the same temperature or are covered by a similar temperature system (heat or cold front for example).

Both are used in electronic media mostly (although in print in newspapers too), over a geographic map to position the systems.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
