As the spacing between isobars increases, the horizontal pressure gradient force and wind speed decrease.
The closer the spacing of isobars, the stronger is the strain gra- dient force. The stronger the stress gradient pressure, the stronger is the wind. thus, intently spaced isobars mean strong winds; extensively spaced isobars imply lighter wind.
The relationship between isobar spacing and wind velocity is that the closer the isobar spacing then the stronger the wind velocity. The spacing among isobars represents a stress differential among those two isobars. when two isobars are nearer together then the stress changes at a greater rate over distance.
The lines around high and low strain on a climate map are called isobars, or lines of equal stress, as shown in the above image on the left. While isobars are near together it is very windy; while they are further aside, conditions are more calm. The wind around highs usually blows in a clockwise direction.

Answer:
Extensional faulting observed in southwestern Mexico has been related to the incipient rifting of the Jalisco block from the Mexican mainland since the Pliocene. On the basis of new structural and geophysical data, we propose that (1) the continental boundaries of the Jalisco block are ancient structures reactivated since the Pliocene at a low (<1 mm/yr) rate of deformation, and (2) Pliocene-Quaternary extensional faulting at the edges of Jalisco block is a basement-controlled intraplate deformation related to plate boundary forces rather than to active continental rifting. The Jalisco block boundaries first developed in response to the uplift of the Puerto Vallarta batholith in pre-Neogene time and underwent a complex contractile deformation before the Pliocene. During Pliocene-Quaternary times north-northeast extension reactivated the northern boundary, forming the Tepic-Zacoalco rift, whereas east-southeast extension formed the northern Colima rift. South of the Colima volcano, active extension is found only west of the so-called southern Colima rift and partly reactivates old northeast-trending basement faults. The parallelism between the subducted Rivera-Cocos plate boundary zone and the eastern neotectonic boundary of the Jalisco block supports eastsoutheastward motion of the southern Mexican blocks induced by the differential motion and oblique subduction of the Cocos and Rivera plates. On the other hand, we envisage Pliocene-Quaternary extension along the northern boundary as an upper-plate response to the low convergence rate and the steep subduction angle of the Rivera plate.
