Question

heat islands and effects
the urban heat island effect can cause increased greenhouse gas emissions and warmer storm water runoff. what else can the urban heat island effect cause?
increased energy use
decreased precipitation

Explanation:

Urban heat islands raise ambient temperatures, leading to higher demand for air conditioning and cooling systems, which directly increases energy consumption. In contrast, urban heat islands can actually lead to increased localized precipitation (due to convection from warm air), so decreased precipitation is not a correct effect.

Answer:

Increased energy use
