The term ‘urban heat island’ refers to the localized increase in temperature associated with an urban area. The UHI is an example of unintentional climate modification when urbanization changes the characteristics of the earth’s surface and atmosphere. It was observed that the UHI effect might result in minimum urban temperatures being 5-6° greater than the surrounding countryside. In the case of London‚ mean annual temperature was 11°C‚ while the surrounding countryside was 9.6°C and the suburbs

familiar with is called heat while temperature is the measure of a degree of heat or coldness of an object. In everyday life‚ heat or cold is commonly used to explain the degree of temperature of an object. An object that is said to be hot means it has a high temperature. Similarly‚ when an object is said to be cold‚ is means it is has a low temperature.  IMAGE GOES HERE Image Source Why does heat move from our hands to ice cubes and not vice versa? This is due to the heat transfer from a high

results * The heat affected zone is a composition of parent metal which was heated to a high enough temperature for a sufficient period but doesn’t melt so that grain growth occurred. The heat affected zone is also the region whose mechanical properties and microstructure have been altered due to the heat of welding. The heat affected zone undergoes sudden heating followed by rapid cooling‚ thereby containing a series of microstructures. These microstructures within the heat affected zone are
