An isotach is a line on a weather map where winds of similar speed have been recorded. Many times these lines are used by cartographers, meteorologists, and geographers. These lines help to explain to the general public exactly what weather systems such as hurricanes bring to an area as wind speed goes. This map is a perfect example of an isotach because of the connecting lines that help to describe to the general public where the winds are in a front line.
