Explanation:
Statement 1: Area of Pacific Ocean is almost equal to area of all other oceans combined.
The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth, covering an area of about 63 million square miles. It is larger than the combined area of all the other oceans (Atlantic, Indian, Southern, and Arctic) put together. Therefore, statement 1 is correct.
Statement 2: More diversity of landforms can be observed in oceans than continents.
This statement is incorrect. Landforms refer to the physical features and characteristics of the Earth's surface. While oceans do contain various landforms like trenches, ridges, seamounts, and underwater volcanoes, the diversity of landforms on continents is much greater. Continents host a wide range of landforms such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, deserts, canyons, and many more. Additionally, continents also support various ecosystems and habitats, which further contribute to the diversity of landforms. Therefore, statement 2 is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Based on the explanations above, we can conclude that only statement 1 is correct (a) and statement 2 is incorrect (b).
