Explanation:

Statement 1: This is due to greater evaporation. Similarly, in equator, evaporation is high, cloudiness is high and rains are frequent. Clouds reflect incoming solar insolation and send it back to space.
Statement 2: Despite the varied terrain and relief, amount of insolation received by land isn’t affected so significantly as to cause such a difference in the total insolation received by land and seas.
