RELATED:The "heat island effect" traps cities in domes of extreme temperatures. Experts only expect it to get worse. "Any time we're developing the land surface and building cities, there's gonna be some urban heat island effect," Smoliak said. "Urban heat islands occur when cities are wa...
解析 【答案】D【核心短语/词汇】urban 城市的【翻译】城市热岛效应的后果可能是什么?【解析】A.温度更低;B.能量再生;C.燃料短缺;D.空气污染。根据常识可知,城市热岛效应的后果就是温度升高,能量消耗增多,燃料使用增多,导致空气污染,故选D。 反馈 收藏 ...
根据文章 “Now the underground heat is building up as the planet warms” 可知,随着地球变暖,地下热量在积聚,这表明 “城市热岛” 受到全球变暖的影响,所以 B 选项正确。A 选项,文中说的是城市热岛会在地下形成,而不是发展地下结构,A 错误;C 选项,文中说的是地下热点导致周围地面膨胀和收缩从而可能造成...
There is strong empirical evidence that the urban heat islands can initiate storms due to the triggering of the deep convection, which then leads to severe weather events over the large urban areas. However, the conditions under which a triggering may occur are still not well understood. In ...
From a decision-making point of view, key traits are those determining the response of ecosystems to human-induced pressures such as air pollution, soil sealing, or urban heat islands, as well as those mediating the effects of these changes on ecosystem services and related benefits as perceived...
Because Urban Heat Islands increase temperatures in urban and suburban areas, they amplify the demand for air conditioning and launch a cycle of energy consumption that contributes to global warming. If living roofs become a common building initiative, cities can reduce the uncomfortable effects of ...
A warmer planet doesn’t just raise temperatures. From wildfires to floods, here's how the climate is changing.
A combo of nylon, lycra spandex, and stretch fleece makes this glove flexible to wear off the plane and in urban environments because it fits well and moves with your hands. They are easy to care for, just hand wash or wash on delicate post-trip, and bonus: you can use your phone ...
In 2003, the city of Paris faced a particularly severe heat wave that resulted in an exceptional excess mortality rate for the urban population. Subsequently, several research projects in partnership with public stakeholders investigated adaptation strat
Urban development dramatically alters ecosystems. Cities with large areas of hard surfaces are hotter than natural ecosystems and experience the Urban Heat Island effect (UHI) (Yang et al.2016). This changes material and energy flow and affects air and soil temperature, hydrology, biological habits...
