Environmental conditions can vary over small distances, creating microclimates.
dark surfaces, such as tarmac absorb the heat from the sun therefore making it hotter. lighter surfaces such as grass, reflect the heat so are generally cooler.

∙ 13y agomicroclimates vary because the seasons alter the humidity and temperature within the air and on the ground particularly those within vegetation ie forrests,orchards where there is more humidity caused by the leaves that create a canopy affect. during the winter however when there are no leaves on most trees the humidity drops and creates a cooler microclimate.

∙ 12y agoA "micro-climate" is an area, generally a small area, where the terrain modifies the local weather to something different from the surrounding areas. For example, the valley around a stream will be considerably different from the surrounding hillsides.
We typically talk about micro-climates in terms of what plants can be grown there. Some valleys in California are known for producing high quality grape vines, where a nearby valley is not so productive. When wet sea clouds blow from the Pacific Ocean onto the shore, the additional rainfall as the clouds dump their moisture and rise can make all the difference

Shelter - It provides warmth and blocks the wind out.
Building - It provides shelter, warmth and shade.
Aspect - I don't know.
Surface - Dark surfaces such as Tarmac absorb the heat from the sun.
Physical Features - I don't know.

eg. we block the sun by buildings

What is the answer for a small area with climate conditions that differ from those around it is called?
microclimates
What is the circulation of tropical air?
The circulation of tropical air is called microclimate
How do human factors affect microclimate?
surfaces, shelter and buildings,aspect
What is an example of microclimate?
A microclimate is the climate of a small and restricted area that differs from the climate of its larger surrounding area. An example of a microclimate is the Olympic peninsula in Washington.
How are microclimate formed?
Small areas that have their own climates different from the larger ones they're in. For example, an oasis is a microclimate because it's a forest within a desert. Some Caribbean islands like Hispaniola and Aruba have rainforest climates but have small deserts, those deserts are microclimates.

What cities have the best microclimate?
A microclimate is a small area with a different climate to the other areas around it. Microclimates can vary in size but usually stay quite small.
What environmental features might influence microclimate?
All of them.

A microclimate.
Does topeka Kansas have microclimate?
yes it does bc it does kmsl
Is a dry desert an example of a microclimate?
No, the desert climate is a major climate zone and not an example of a microclimate. There are, however, microclimates found in deserts.
What to measure for microclimate?
Anemometer Improvement. You can use a thermometer too.
What are natural features of a microclimate?
A microclimate has features such as proximity to water, a south-sloping location, protection from winds, much bare rock and/or other features that typically increase or moderate the temperature in that location.
What is a microclimate?
Microclimate is basically defined as the local climate present in a small site or habitat. The microclimate of a place is usually uniform through the year. The term microclimate is usually used to refer to the climate of a place such as a house, a city, a cave or a valley, that is different from the climate in the general larger area. The localised climatic conditions within an urban area or a neighbourhood, differ significantly from the general climatic conditions prevalent in the general urban area or neighbourhood. Stands of trees or shrubs often cause microclimates. Microclimate also refers to the area that directly surrounds the defined area. It can affect the character of the wineproduced in the area which is in the vicinity of the area defined under the scope of the particular microclimate. It also takes into consideration such factors as the warmth and humidity in the air.
