they don't, that's why they are called heat 'islands' the temperature increase is only applicable to the area the heat island COVERS.

What causes heat islands?
Is where the climate is warmer the in surrounding rural areasone factor could be the specific heat capacity of the material of say a city (concrete) or the ocean (water)
What two things affect surface zone temperatures in most regions?
Usually the heat from the sun and latitude and longitude
What two things affect surface-zone temperatures in most regions?
Usually the heat from the sun and latitude and longitude
How do people affect the weather?
One way is that our cities create heat islands that affect the weather. Here in Phoenix, the heat island that the city gives off is causing monsoons to move in later and later in the day.
How do urban areas create heat islands?
Urban areas create heat islands due to the abundance of concrete and asphalt surfaces that absorb heat, as well as the lack of green spaces that would help to cool the environment. Buildings and infrastructure in urban areas also trap heat, leading to higher temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas. The heat generated from human activities and increased energy use further contribute to the heat island effect.
What is unwanted heat?
unwanted heat is heat that is dangerous for the surrounding and envyroment.
What can radiations do?
radiation can transfer heat to the surrounding's
Is there any heat exchange between object and the surrounding atmosphere?
As long as the body and the surrounding atmosphere are at different temperatures, there will be heat transfer between the two.
When water evaporate it heat energy and the surrounding air?
when water evaporates it absorbs heat energy and cools the surrounding air
Is heat liberated in endothermic reactions?
No. Heat is given out (liberated) in exothermic reactions not endothermic. exo = out, therm = heat. Endothermic reactions take in heat energy from the surrounding wshich cause the surrounding temperature to decrease. endo = in.
Deciding on a touchscreen computer?
The pros of a pressure based system include a more accurate reading. The cons of a heat based system is the surrounding temperature may affect the reading.
The thermodynamic law that explains the movement of heat energy during the refrigeration cycle is the?
second law of thermodynamics. This law states that heat naturally flows from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature. In the refrigeration cycle, heat is extracted from the refrigerated space and transferred to the surrounding environment, causing the temperature inside the space to decrease.
