Heat-island affect




Do you know how a city like the above can be way hotter than cities in the rural areas? It's  because these cities contain asphalt and concrete which are used in making streets, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots,... etc. All this heats up which then heats the air around it. As for rural areas because of the plants they stay cooler because plants contain water and water heats up slower then it cools down.
