Which of the following is a consequence of urban heat islands?

A. increased winds within the cityB. increased precipitation upwind of the cityC. decreased winds within the cityD. increased precipitation downwind of the city

B. increased precipitation upwind of the city

Explanation:

The urban heat island effect, causes increased in the precipitation of upwind in the city. The warmer temperatures in cities, creates unstable air which leads to rain. Air is unstable when it is warmer than the air around it. The warm, unstable air starts to rise. The air cools as it rises, which allows water vapor within it to condense and form clouds. If the warm, rising air was carrying enough water vapor, those clouds can grow into rainclouds.
