Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Question

Question

Isotherms are the lines joining places having equal temperature.
The isotherms deviate to the north over the Ocean and to the South Over the continent in January.
The isotherms are more or less parallel to the latitudes and the temperature variation is more gradual in the Northern hemisphere.
None of the above

Answer 1

Answer is: The isotherms are more or less parallel to the latitudes and the temperature variation is more gradual in the Northern hemisphere..

Key Points

Isotherms are the lines joining places having an equal temperature.
Latitude impacts temperature.
In January the isotherms deviate to the north over the Ocean and to the South over the continent.
The effect of the ocean is well pronounced in the southern hemisphere.
The isotherms are more or less parallel to the latitudes and the temperature variation is more gradual in the Southern hemisphere. Hence, option 3 is NOT correct.
In July the isotherms generally run parallel to the latitudes.
The highest range of temperatures is more than 60 degrees Celsius over the North-Eastern part of the Eurasian continent, This is due to continentality.
The least range of temperatures which is 3 degrees Celsius is found between 20 degrees south and 15 degrees north.
