Jessica recently moved to an apartment in the industrial area of readington city. she noticed that the roads in her neighborhood warm up quickly. she also noticed that the temperature in her apartment is typically much warmer than the temperature of her previous apartment, which was near the mountains on the outskirts of the city. what is responsible for the change in temperature?

a. urban areas absorb more of the sun’s radiation.
b. mountainous areas don’t absorb the sun’s radiation.
c. mountain areas experience more precipitation.
d. urban areas experience lower precipitation.

The correct answer is option A, that is, urban areas absorb more of the Sun’s radiation.

Explanation:

The cause for the urban regions exhibiting a warmer climate in comparison to the mountainous regions is the maximum captivation of the radiation of the Sun by these regions. This is termed as the urban heat island effect. This results in the air to be warmer in comparison to the other regions.  

There are various causes related to the elevation in the temperature. One of the causes is exhibiting a huge number of roads and buildings in the urban regions. This takes part in the captivation of the heat from the Sun. Another cause is the absence of green plants, which absorbs the heat and the cools the surrounding.  

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
