Variations over water cannot be determined.

Variations are the same over water and land.

Variations are greater over land than over water.

Answered by maham237 @



The correct option is this: VARIATIONS ARE GREATER OVER LAND THAN OVER WATER.

Temperature variation over water is very small compared to temperature variation over land. This is because, water has high specific heat capacity, which enables it to resist temperature changes when it absorb heat or when it releases heat. A large amount of heat has to be lost or gained before water will show a one degree Celsius temperature change.
