surfaces‚ how might temperatures differ between urban and rural areas? Which setting tends to be warmer on a given day and why? Also‚ are there any factors other than albedo that might affect the temperature differences between the two settings? On any given day the urban areas are hotter than that of the rural areas. Urban areas tend to be warmer than surrounding rural areas due to urban heat islands Albedo is a major factor in increase of the urban temperature. Albedo is “the fraction of the total

Supporting Urban Sprawl Essay Many people are naturally attracted towards less developed areas for better opportunities. However‚ populations in these places are on the rise‚ and more land must be developed upon to support all of these people‚ creating the issue of urban sprawl. By putting a stop to urban sprawl‚ suburban communities will transform into cities. Smart growth promotes this transformation‚ since it still promotes development in areas that are already developed‚ which is how cities

and Urban growth An urban area is defined as a town or city plus its adjacent suburban fringes with a population of between10‚000-50‚000. A rural area usually is defined as an area with a population of less than 2‚500 people. Urbanization is the process in which people increasingly move from rural areas to densely populated cities; also involves the transformation of rural areas into urban areas. A country’s degree of urbanization is the percentage of its population living in an urban area. Urban

Increasing urban sprawl and motorization have become leading causes of environmental and social problems in recent years throughout the world‚ particularly in cities of developing countries. Urban sprawl is the disorderly expansion of urban areas‚ especially resulting from real estate development on the out skirts of a city. Motorization‚ which is linked to urban sprawl‚ can be defined as the increasing use of motor vehicles. Although motor vehicles offer some benefits such as convenience‚ their

investigating the relationship between surface area and the volume of a model cactus and to determine whether this relationship affects the loss of water. We used oasis blocks‚ an absorbant material used by florists as a substitute for a cactus‚ that would soak up the water‚ and thus ideally show the percentage water loss by weighing the before and after evaporation weights. Independent Variable The independent variable is the total surface area for each size of the blocks and I think this will
