Effect of Heat Island: Urban Areas are Getting Warmer than Rural Areas

Image
Do you know why cities are experiencing higher temperatures nowadays? The reason behind it is the Heat Island Effect . The lack of plants in the surrounding area is enough to imbalance the temperature. Cities are more developed than rural areas. Large buildings, industries, and a lack of plants are enough to cause the Heat Island Effect . This effect not only affects the environment but also causes severe health issues.  Those are heat stroke, respiratory issues, heart attack, and numerous other health problems. Let's understand all the consequences of the Heat Island Effect .   Understanding the Consequences of  Heat Island  Influence    This is where urban areas have higher temperature issues than rural areas. This effect causes several consequences that affect the health, the environment, energy consumption, and local weather patterns.   Let's reveal.   Health Impacts   Several studies claimed that the heat effect can cause several health issues. The ri

Consequences of Climate Change: Understanding the Greenhouse Effect

Climate change is affecting all of us. One of the main reasons behind climate change is the greenhouse effect. Let's break down what Climate Change Green House Gases mean and how it's affecting our planet. Greenhouse Effect When the sun sends energy to Earth as sunlight, some of this sunlight is absorbed by Earth's surface and warms it up. The warm surface then sends heat energy back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, including water vapor, methane, and (CO2), trap some heat, and these gases act like a blanket around Earth, keeping it warm enough to support life. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would be extremely cold for us to live on. However, human endeavors such as the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation have elevated the number of gases of greenhouse in the atmosphere and caused Earth's temperature to rise.   The rising temperature of Earth can lead to climate change, affecting weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems.
