One of the reasons environments tend to be warmer than is that surfaces tend to be covered with buildings and roads which have low albedo

question 60 options:

urban, rural, urban

continental, rural, continental

rural, urban, rural

maritime, rural, urban

The correct answer is A. urban, rural, urban

Explanation:

In general terms, the temperature is related by multiple factors that include the altitude, latitude, weather, among others. Besides this, it has been found the temperature of the same geographical zone can vary depending on whether the zone is urban or rural. In this way, rural zones can be 1° to 3° grades hotter (even up to 7° grades) that urban zones, this can be explained as in urban zones surfaces are covered by roads, buildings or similar instead of trees, grass or lakes, and these type of artificial structures tend to absorb heat but not reflected which refers to the albedo. Thus, urban environments tend to be warmer than rural because urban surfaces have a low albedo.
