Answer:

Urban Heat

Explanation:

Urban heat is defined as the heat or the increase in temperature that occurs in an urban area due to the anthropogenic activities. These anthropogenic activities include the release of harmful toxic gases from the vehicles, factories and industries, burning up of fossil fuels and from other sources. Deforestation also is another reason for this increasing temperature because the trees were cut down in order to construct houses and other commercial buildings, as a result of which the heat is absorbed by the land surface at a much higher rate. The temperature in this region is comparatively much higher than the surrounding rural areas.

Thus, urban heat is responsible for the change in temperature.

Answer:

Urban heat

Explanation:

Urban heat is a terminology generally used to describe the higher temperature with in the cities as compared to the surrounding woods.

Jessica moved to industrial area which has large industries that continuously release heat and pollution in the environment. Due to this the environment in and around the industrial area is much warmer as compared to the outskirts of the cities (with mountains).

Also the cities have offices & residential apartments, traffic and automobiles that continuously release heat and pollution thereby further enhancing the temperature of cities.
