Geography

1. 1.

   Fictional simultaneous evening measurements in °C: urban sites 30, 32, 31; rural sites 25, 26, 27. Instruments are calibrated, but each group has only three sites. A tree-planting plan focuses on a wealthy shopping street while a low-income neighbourhood has little shade. All readings and locations are invented. Explain how daytime heat storage and later release can keep urban areas warm after sunset.

6. 6.

   Fictional simultaneous evening measurements in °C: urban sites 30, 32, 31; rural sites 25, 26, 27. Instruments are calibrated, but each group has only three sites. A tree-planting plan focuses on a wealthy shopping street while a low-income neighbourhood has little shade. All readings and locations are invented. Assess whether these readings prove that trees are the best heat-management strategy.
