Isohyets


This is a map of Australia that uses an isohyet to show where the average rainfall occurs in this country. 300 mm of rain was the average rainfall per year in Australia over a given time. They took every place that received that much and connected them to create the line above that is referred to as an isohyet. Many times in maps they will connect several isohyets to show where the most and least rainfall occurred.
