Answer

Weather maps consist of isobars to show atmospheric pressure because different pressure systems cause different types of weathers. The spacing of isobars indicate the pressure gradient. The closer the isobars, the steeper the gradient of pressure and the weather is stormy. When isobars are far apart from each other, there is a little difference in the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, weather maps are important in weather forecasting.
