<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> With respect to isotherm, consider the following statements:

1. The Isotherms are lines joining places having equal temperature.

2. In January the isotherms deviate to the south over the Ocean and to the north over the continent in the northern hemisphere.

Which of the statement/s given above is/are correct?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• 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;}--> In the northern hemisphere the land surface area is much larger than in the southern hemisphere. Hence, the effects of land mass and the ocean currents are well pronounced. In January the isotherms deviate to the north over the ocean and to the south over the continent.
