23. Isohyets

http://traveloutbackaustralia.com/start-here/outback-climate-and-weather.html
Isohyet is a line that connects equivalent points rainfall in a given period on a map. This map observes rainfall in Australia, the driest continent (aside from Antarctica), with an annual rainfall of less than 500 mm a year. For example, as you can see it connects Longreach to Charleville (which are two points both in the 400-500 mm range) in a contour line to illustrate exactly how much rainfall an area gets.
