← GeographyWhich consequence results when urban heat island effect minimizes albedo?
A)Increased local convective precipitation✓
B)Less efficient geothermal electricity
C)Declining glacier ice accumulation
D)Stronger coastal tidal amplification
💡 Explanation
Increased sensible heat flux due to urban heat island effect leads to more localized air convection, because warmer air rises. Therefore, localized thunderstorms are more likely, rather than increased cryosphere losses and decreased geothermal exchange efficiency.
