Options:

1. Equal thermal anomaly of several places
2. Equal pressure gradient of several places
3. Equal mean temperature of several places
4. None of the above

Correct Answer

1. Isotherms are generally closely spaced in the northern hemisphere
2. The closely spaced isotherms denote rapid rate of change of temperature
3. The isotherms during the months of January and July are taken as representatives for the study of horizontal distribution of temperature during winter and summer season respectively because they represent seasonal extremes

Options:

1. Only 1 and 3
2. Only 1
3. Only 1 and 2
4. All of the above
