The pavement and buildings in cities affect the local climate by?

Buildings and pavement tend to absorb energy during the day and release it at night. (They are dark, building have a lot of metal etc.) Trees and grass do not store the heat in a similar fashion This is why cities tend to have slightly higher temperatures than the surrounding countryside.


Why do you expect seepage of water into the ground to be less in big cities?

In big cities, the ground is often covered by impermeable surfaces like pavement and buildings, which prevent water from seeping into the ground. This results in increased surface runoff and less infiltration of water into the soil. Additionally, urban areas tend to have more drainage systems and underground infrastructure that are designed to manage and redirect excess water away from built-up areas.


How buildings cause climate difference between cities and non urban area?

Buildings in cities contribute to the urban heat island effect by absorbing and retaining heat, leading to higher temperatures compared to non-urban areas. The concentration of buildings also limits natural vegetation and green spaces, reducing the cooling effects of plants and trees. Additionally, the heat generated by energy use and transportation in cities further exacerbates the difference in climate between cities and non-urban areas.


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.

Which ancient Indian cities were constructed with streets organized in a rectangular grid had sewer and trash systems and multi-storied buildings made of brick?

The ancient Indian cities of the Indus Valley Civilization, particularly Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, were notable for their advanced urban planning. These cities featured streets organized in a rectangular grid pattern, sophisticated drainage and sewer systems, and multi-storied buildings constructed from baked brick. Their infrastructure reflects a high level of civic planning and engineering for that time.
