Heat islands can occur in urban areas when what happens?
A: Absorption of heat by open space
B: Reflection of heat by white rooftops
C: Absorption of heat by hardscapes
D: Reflection of heat by hardscapes

参考答案: C

本题解释:
The heat island effect is created when developed areas have higher
temperatures than surrounding rural areas. An urban heat island effect is
caused by sunlight heating up dark colored surfaces such as roads and
rooftops. Huge quantities of heat are generated in buildings that have dark
rooftops and absorb heat rather than reflect it.
