Neufeld then presents that “maps have a social purpose: their design and use is not only embedded within the culture creating them, but they reflect and support the social traditions of that culture” (Neufeld 33).

Chapter 8 Review 3. The horizontal wind determines the spacing between the isobars on a surface weather map each day.
