Heat Islands - areas of increased temperature due to a high amount of concrete - occur

Geography
1 answer:
cupoosta [38]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Heat Islands occur in cities.

Explanation:

The cities, especially the large ones, have managed to totally transform the natural landscape and create something that can not be found in nature. Humans have created large areas with very large populations. This has resulted in the extensive building, pilling up of certain materials, industry, traffic, blocking of winds, pollution, etc.

All of the aforementioned things have managed to create a micro-climate when it comes to the cities, differing from the climate in the surrounding area. Something that is often a characterisitc of the micro-climate in the large cities is the so-called ''heat island''. Basically, the materials that dominate in the cities, like concrete, asphalt, and glass, all manage to amplify the effect of the sun, accumulating and radiating heat, making the cities unbearably hot in some parts of the year.

Hi:) why is denser air able to absorb more longwave radiation from the earth’s surface?
irinina [24]

Answer:

<em>When it reaches the Earth, some is reflected back to space by clouds, some is absorbed by the atmosphere, and some is absorbed at the </em><u><em>Earth's surface.</em></u><em> However, since the Earth is much cooler than the Sun, its radiating energy is much weaker infrared energy.</em>
