Question

What is heat island ? Give an example.(50 word)

Answer 1

As urban areas develop, changes occur in their landscape. Buildings, roads, and other infrastructure replace open land and vegetation. Surfaces that were once permeable and moist become impermeable and dry. These changes cause urban regions to become warmer than their rural surroundings, forming an "island" of higher temperatures in the landscape.

Tokyo, an example of an urban heat island. Normal temperatures of Tokyo go up higher than those of the surrounding area.
