Which of the following is/are correct inference/inferences from isothermal maps in the month of January?

1. The isotherms deviate to the north over the ocean and to the south over the continent.
2. The presence of cold ocean currents, Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift make the North Atlantic Ocean colder and the isotherms bend towards the north. Select the answer using the code given below:

Isotherms are lines connecting locations with the same temperature.

In January, isotherms generally run parallel to latitudes, demonstrating the impact of latitude on temperature. Deviations from this trend are more noticeable in the Northern Hemisphere due to the larger land surface area.

In January, isotherms deviate northward over oceans and southward over continents. This is evident in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift are warm ocean currents that make the North Atlantic Ocean warmer, causing the isotherms to bend northwards, not southwards as implied by statement 2.

Over land in Europe, temperatures drop sharply, and isotherms bend southward, especially in the Siberian Plain.

Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is not correct. Hence, only statement 1 is correct.
