Isopleth


Isopleths are contour lines that joins points of equal elevation (height) above a given level, such as mean sea level. Isopleth maps, like this one, are handy in showing changes in the amount of acid rain resulting from legislative efforts such as Title IV of the Clean Air Act Ammendments. This map is from the 1995-2005 CAAA Reductions Report.
