Relating to or describing conditions where time and temperature remain relatively constant; in geology or physics, conditions of steady temporal and thermal properties.
From Greek chronos (time) + iso- (equal) + therme (heat), literally 'time-equal-heat.' This technical term appears in geological and thermodynamic literature describing stable environmental conditions.
Deep caves maintain chronoisothermal conditions—temperature and time-scale both remain remarkably constant, which is why cave systems preserve ice and fossils for millions of years almost unchanged.
