Question

Why is a city warmer than the
surrounding rural areas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is because buildings, sidewalks, and parking lots block heat coming from the ground from rising into the cold night sky. Because the heat is trapped on lower levels, the temperature is warmer. Urban heat islands can have worse air and water quality than their rural neighbors.
