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.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:Espero te sirva

Explanation:La subducción es el proceso de hundimiento de una placa litosférica bajo el borde de otra placa, formándose los llamados límites convergentes entre placas. La placa subducida, la que se hunde, suele estar formada por corteza oceánica, más delgada y densa que la continental. La subducción ocurre a lo largo de amplias zonas de subducción que en el presente se concentran especialmente en el entorno del océano Pacífico, en el llamado cinturón de fuego del Pacífico, pero también hay zonas de subducción en partes del mar Mediterráneo, las Antillas, las Antillas del Sur y la costa índica de Indonesia.
