Q. Which of the following statements is/are correct?

1. The specific heat of land is more than that of water.
2. Diurnal and annual range of temperatures are least in oceans.

Select the correct code from the options given below:
Answer: Only 2
Notes: The specific heat of water is higher than that of land, meaning water requires more heat to raise its temperature. As a result, oceans, due to their high specific heat and mixing of water, have the least diurnal and annual temperature ranges. Thus, statement 1 is incorrect and statement 2 is correct.
