What factors contribute to metamorphism?
Intense Heat and Pressure.
How can you explain urban areas contribute to localized convective lifting?
Urban areas contribute to localized convective lifting by producing more heat than non urban areas. Thanks for asking, ChaCha
What is a dangerous impact of the environment in the urban area and solutions?
The Urban Heat Island effect is one major impact in the urban area. The Urban Heat Island effect is when the temperature in a city rapidly increases. One solution to this problem is planting more trees for shade. Another solution is installing rooftops that reflect rather than retain heat.
What are two factors in the mantle that contribute to the rock cycle?
Weight(gravity) and Thermal energy. Gravity pulls it all down, heat pushes it back up again and
Why are cities usually warmer in the winter than the surrounding countryside?
It is known as The Heat Island Effect or Urban Heat Island. The main cause is the materials that are used to modify the land surfaces (asphalt roads, concrete sidewalks) and buildings contain materials store short wave radiation effectively. A secondary contributor is waste heat generated by energy usage. For more information visit the Related Link.

What are The Three factors contribute to spoiled meat after game is harvested?
heat
Is an urban heat island effect cool or warm?
The urban heat island effect is a warming effect. Unban means 'city'. Buildings and roads retain more heat and warm the air around them, so cities are warmer then the countryside.

How does the heat island effect in cities create convection cells?
Monthly rainfall is greater downwind of cities, partially due to the UHI. Increases in heat within urban centers increases the length of growing seasons, and decreases the occurrence of weak tornadoes. The UHI decreases air quality by increasing the production of pollutants such as ozone, and decreases water quality as warmer waters flow into area streams, which stresses their ecosystems. Not all cities have a distinct urban heat island. Mitigation of the urban heat island effect can be accomplished through the use of green roofs and the use of lighter-colored surfaces in urban areas, which reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat. Despite concerns raised about its possible contribution to global warming, comparisons between urban and rural areas show that the urban heat island effects have little influence on global mean temperature trends.
What is the importance of bio-asphalt in union budget 2011?
it can be made from renewable sources and lower the temperature of urban heat island.
What factors affect the specific changes which take place during metamorphism?
Two factors that contribute to the formation of metamorphic rocks are pressure and temperature.
What is the importance of bio asphalt in union budget 2011-2012?
it can be made from renewable sources and lower the temperature of urban heat island.
Why do urban area have higher temperature?
In short, I think urban areas have a high temparature due to pollution and high population density.
