Which of the following is a consequence of urban heat islands?

Biology
1 answer:
liraira [26]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B. increased precipitation upwind of the city

Explanation:

The urban heat island effect, causes increased in the precipitation of upwind in the city. The warmer temperatures in cities, creates unstable air which leads to rain. Air is unstable when it is warmer than the air around it. The warm, unstable air starts to rise. The air cools as it rises, which allows water vapor within it to condense and form clouds. If the warm, rising air was carrying enough water vapor, those clouds can grow into rainclouds.

3. In a field of sugar beets in Georgia the net primary productivity is 120 grams/m^2/day, and the
konstantin123 [22]

Answer and Explanation:

Available Data:

  • 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal
  • NPP = GPP – Respiration = 120 grams/m2/day
  • NPP= Net primary productivity of a system
  • GPP= Gross productivity of the producers
  • Respiration loss 25% of NPP
  • Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm2/day
  • % Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

1) Find the gross productivity of the sugar beets.

We need to calculate the GPP, which equals NPP - Respiration rate. The respiration loss is 25% of the NPP. This is:

100% NPP--------------- 120 g/m²/day

25% NPP ----------------X = (25 x 120)/100 = 30 g/m²/day

Now that we know the values of NPP and respiration rate, we can calculate the GPP.

GPP = NPP - Respiration

GPP = 120 (g/m²/day) - 30 (g/m²/day)

GPP = 90 g/m²/day

GPP = 0.009 g/cm²/day

2) Using the NPP, calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis for the sugar beets.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

We know the NPP, but this value is calculated in g/m²/day, while the Insolation energy is in g/cm²/day. We need to calculate the % Efficiency of Photosynthesis in cm. To do that, we must transform the information.

So if 1 m² = 10,000 cm², then:

10,000cm²----------120 grams/m²/day NPP

1 cm²---------------- (1 x 120) / 10,000 = 0.012 grams/cm²/day NPP

We also know that 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal, and that the Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm²/day

So we need to transform Insolation energy from calories/cm²/day to grams/cm²/day, so:

2,000 calories ----------------- 1 gr beet

800 calories/cm²/day---------X = 0.4 gr beet.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (0.012 (gr/cm2/day) /0.4 (gr/cm2/day)) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = 3 gr/cm2/day
