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.


Why copper is used for making radiators?

Copper is used for making radiators because it is an excellent conductor of heat, allowing for efficient heat exchange in the radiator. Copper is also durable, corrosion-resistant, and malleable, making it a practical choice for a component that is exposed to water and temperature variations.


Do the warmest temperatures occur over continents or oceans?

The warmest temperatures typically occur over continents because land surfaces heat up faster and retain heat better than water. Oceans have a moderating effect on temperatures due to their high heat capacity, so they are slower to warm up and cool down compared to land areas.


Why is it hotter on Venus than on Jupiter?

For three main reasons : # It's closer to the sun, and receives considerably more solar radiation than Earth. # It's heavy gaseous atmosphere traps the infrared heat that would otherwise escape back to space, and keeps the entire planet in the same temperature range. # Volcanic eruptions and lava flows further heat the surface.


What is the climate in the desert at night?

The very dry air of the desert holds little moisture and thus holds little heat so as soon as the sun sets, the desert cools considerably. Clear, cloudless skies also help to quickly release heat at night. Mos deserts have very low temperatures at night.

How is heat carried from areas of energy surplus to areas of energy deficit?

Heat is carried through conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between materials. Convection involves the movement of fluids to transport heat. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
