warm up quickly. She also noticed that the temperature in her apartment is typically much warmer than the temperature of her previous apartment, which was near the mountains on the outskirts of the city. What is responsible for the change in temperature?
A. Urban areas absorb more of the Sun’s radiation.
B. Mountainous areas don’t absorb the Sun’s radiation.
C. Mountain areas experience more precipitation.
D. Urban areas experience lower precipitation.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, urban areas absorb more of the Sun’s radiation.

Explanation:

The cause for the urban regions exhibiting a warmer climate in comparison to the mountainous regions is the maximum captivation of the radiation of the Sun by these regions. This is termed as the urban heat island effect. This results in the air to be warmer in comparison to the other regions.  

There are various causes related to the elevation in the temperature. One of the causes is exhibiting a huge number of roads and buildings in the urban regions. This takes part in the captivation of the heat from the Sun. Another cause is the absence of green plants, which absorbs the heat and the cools the surrounding.

If scientists are wrong about Earth's age based on radioactive material and the decay rates are really much faster, how would nu
kupik [55]

Nuclear power plants use the energy originating from the splitting or uranium atoms to produce steam, which in turn drives a turbine generator.

The main problem with this form of energy production is the byproduct from the nuclear reactors known as radioactive waste. Although it is no longer efficient for the energy production, this waste is still radiating large amounts of heat and radiation. Thus, they are very hazardous as they are fatal on direct exposure and can contaminate the environment.

Due to the extremely long half-life, long term storage for this waste is extremely problematic.  However, if the decay rates were much faster, then the half-life would also be much shorter. Thus, short term storage solutions could be found.

Excepting the nuclear waste and the potential accidents (which are minimized in modern plants), nuclear energy does not immediately affect the climate on earth. With short half-lives, nuclear energy would perhaps become more popular than solar or wind energy as it is more reliable and efficient.
