2. Isotherms over land is parallel to the latitudes.

• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 nor 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1 only
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The water heats up slowly only. So isotherms are widely spaced above a water body.

Local condition of land influence the average temperature. So isotherms are not parallel to the latitude over land in the northern hemisphere.
