Answer 1

Answer:

Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Answer 2

Hot desert regions have high diurnal temperature ranges because of less cloud coverage in the atmosphere. Both the Assertion and Reason statements are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RANGE IN DESERTS:

• Deserts experience changes in temperature because of less moisture and clouds in the atmosphere.
• The region receives a large amount of sunlight increases the temperature.
• However, during nights, sand cools faster and so the dry air cools the region quickly.
• The absence of clouds allows the warmer air to move upwards while the cooler air occupies its space.
