Question 1 of 29👑 VIP
Reading and Writing — Information and Ideas The following text is adapted from a 2023 ecology journal article on urban heat islands. "Impervious surfaces such as asphalt and concrete absorb solar radiation during the day and release it slowly at night, keeping urban cores significantly warmer than surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon, known as the urban heat island effect, is most pronounced on calm, clear nights when radiative cooling would otherwise rapidly lower temperatures. Researchers monitoring 47 cities found that urban cores averaged 3.1°C warmer than adjacent farmland, with differences exceeding 6°C in the densest downtown districts." Which choice best states the main purpose of the passage?
