isotherm
Map's temperature curve
An isotherm is a line on a map or chart connecting points of equal temperature.
Weather maps use isotherms to show temperature patterns across regions: The isotherms dipped southward as the cold front advanced.
In thermodynamics, an isotherm represents a process occurring at constant temperature.
