The minerals in stone can be reactive with the chemicals, particularly acids, found in air pollution, which tends to be more concentrated in highly populated areas.

How buildings cause climate difference between cities and non urban area?
Buildings can absorb and hold heat, they (and paved areas) do not permit rain to soak in, but to run off. Buildings can change wind patterns by obstructing winds.
Do earthquakes effect buildings?
Yes, earthquakes do affect buildings in all areas. They cause them to fall and cause various causalities.
What is a developable surface?
A develop-able surface is any area which can be effectively used for constructing buildings or planting crops. This makes up much of the Earth's surface except for extreme areas and those with harsh weather conditions.
What types of models can be used to model weather how are they used to predict weather patterns?
It is a computer model. They can use it to predict the weather because a weather map shows weather patterns over large areas
If you see high or low pressure areas on an weather map what can you predict about the weather in those areas?
yes you can predict the weather in those areas and that would be because the low and high pressre systems move every day and bring the same weater every time.
Why do certain stone buildings tend to weather more rapidly in cities then in rural areas?
air pollution in urban areas will be more acidic and therefore weather the stone faster.

How were the planned cities of the indus valley different from that of other early cities?
The quality of building in the Indus Valley cities declined. Gradually, the great cities fell into decay. The cities on Indus were well planned out, they had precise planning of roads and buildings, also had sewers. This was different, because other civilizations (books example; Mesopotamia) had buildings and roads all over, unplanned areas, and everything was disorganized.

Why city climates may differ from rural climates?
The weather conditions in a city or a rural area are not climates, they are local weather patterns. This point aside, there are differences in many weather related issues in the two areas.Cities are constructed in a manner that traps heat by reflection from class buildings, the presence of heat absorbing road surfaces and the channelling of winds by tall buildings. This makes cities generally hotter in summer than adjacent rural areas. Rising heat from the city leads to an impact called a "heat island" which divers cooler winds and rain.The rural areas also benefit from the more open terrain, evaporation water from plants and soil for cooling and no contained areas to hold heat. In the winter the buildings in cities often channel air though the streets to create an apparent cooling due to wind chill, The same structures cause snow to deposit in the wind shadows of structures to make significant drifting possible. For air quality cities have more air pollutants emitted per area than rural areas,. This would lead to smog, ours and health impacts.
What areas of the world does BBC Weather cover?
BBC weather primarily covers weather for the UK, however there is information provided for various capital cities around the world. Their website also allows this information to be viewed online.
