ISOHYETS

 
 
An isohyet map shows rainfall.  Isohyet maps are a type of contour maps that use contour lines.  When contour lines are close together (see below), the change in the third dimensional variable is large over a very short distance.  Where the contour lines are spread apart, the amount of change in the variable is small.
