This lecture introduces the concept of continuous spatial phenomena and isovalues in the context of geographic information systems. It covers topics such as geometric properties of objects, spatial arrangement, autocorrelation, altitude models, sampling, interpolation, and data layer interaction. Examples of isovalues curves are presented for relief, pressure, temperature, precipitation, and radon. The creation of isovalues curves through interpolation methods is also discussed using software like QGIS.
