Main Body

Urban Heat Island — concentration have lowered green cover. Ex: heads to disruption in the region cycle. Excessive pressure on land, especially in Himalayan areas Ex: Landslide (subsidence), GLOF. The shifting of the monsoon trough over the country due to weather phenomena Ex: Determines strength of monsoon.

Conditions Under Which It Occurs: Differentiated heating of air masses at different levels—Ex: Valley/slopes of hills. The air masses closer to the ground are warmer during day; colder at night. If the cold air mass subsides from the top and loses heat, it settles atop the ground air mass.

There, there is an inversion of temperature where air is enveloped by warm one. Effects the weather/Inhabitants of A Place: Inhabitants usually prefer to stay on the slopes instead of valley floor to avoid extreme cold. Reach of posting of crops as well as vegetation. It helps the inhabitants plan their activities in the day to prevent extreme temperature.
