Cities can aggravate such problems further by generating the phenomenon of urban heat islands (UHI). Few studies have evaluated the state of the art in UHIs' influence on buildings' energy performance, so the present research aims to analyze the main studies evaluating the thermo-energy behavior...
(2) during the winter, when nights are longer and there is more heat generated in the city; and (3) when the region is dominated by a high-pressure area with light winds, clear skies, and less humid air.Over time, increasing urban heat islands affect climatological temperature records, ...
No matter the client or the region of the country, all commercial and residential properties have heat islands: narrow strips of turf, the unsuitable area between the sidewalk and street, the foundation planting with reflected heat off the house, the tree pit in the parking lot of the ...

How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth, according toNASA. At heart, hurricanes are fueled by just two ingredients: heat and water. Hurricanes are seeded over the warm waters above the equator, where the air above the ocean's surface takes in heat and moistur...

America’s most special places will always be beautiful, but a warming climate forces us to accept that they can’t be frozen in time.
Hurricane Georges made landfall (登陆) Biloxi, Mississippi, after damaging several islands of the Caribbean badly with rains and winds up to 160 km per hour. Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States. This was a very different outcome (结果) from 1900, when a ...
Average Fireworms don't only stick together for strength in numbers they also do it to keep each other warm with their body heat as a single one can keep their body heat going for a while but over time if it doesn't come into contact with the pack mates then their body temperature ...
For instance, it's been found that nearly 60 percent of the trash found in marine environments is composed of non-biodegradable clothing fibers , which means that elastane and similar fabrics contribute significantly to the giant islands of trash that float through the oceans and the debris found...
