which type of heat island has a higher surface temperature in urban areas compared to rural areas?
surface heat islands
boundary heat islands
Brief Explanations
Surface heat islands are defined by higher urban surface temperatures relative to surrounding rural areas, as urban surfaces like asphalt and concrete absorb and retain more heat. Boundary heat islands relate to atmospheric temperature differences above the surface, not surface temperature itself.
