Question

Land masses heat and cool faster than the ocean, therefore, global isotherms tend to stay parallel when crossing different land/ocean surface conditions.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Note, the term isotherms refers to lines used on maps to represents regions with equal temperatures.

Also, it is a generally held scientific fact that land masses |(expanse of land surrounded by water) heat and cools faster than the ocean (water), and this difference affects the climate of different areas on the Earth.

So, based on the definition of the terms, we cannot expect global isotherms (or lines used to indicate regions of equal temperatures) to stay parallel when crossing different land/ocean surface conditions since each region of the earth often has a slightly different temperature level.
