Urban areas tend to be warmer than the rural areas that surround them. This is mainly caused by how the materials that humans use for building, such as concrete, absorb and radiate energy from the Sun. This is known as the "heat island" effect. Which of the following can be altered by the heat island effect? A. local weather patterns B. local volcanic activity C. the ocean tides D. the movement of crustal plates
