Question
Which of the following statements about
the urban heat island effect is FALSE?
O Urban areas warm faster than rural areas
O In vegetated areas, solar energy can be
used by plants for transpiration, which
slows warming
O In urban areas, solar energy is turned into
sensible heat, which increases warming
The urban heat island effect explains global
warming
