There is growing evidence that urbanization has a sharp impact on climate,
causing changes that can wreak havoc on precipitation patterns that supply the
precious resource of water. The heavy amounts of heat and pollution rising from
cities both delay and stimulate the fall of precipitation, deriving some areas of rain
while drenching others.
Cities are on average one to ten degrees warmer than the surrounding
undeveloped areas. Cities also produce large amounts of pollutants called aerosols,
gaseous suspensions of dust particles or byproducts from the burning of fossil
fuels. Both heat and pollutants change the dynamics of clouds. When hoisted up in
the sky, the microscopic particles act as multiple surfaces on which the moisture in
the clouds can condense as tiny droplets. This can prevent or delay the formation
of larger raindrops that fall more easily from the sky, or it can cause the rain to fall
in another location.
In California, pollution blows eastward and causes a precipitation shortage
of around one trillion gallons a year across the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. By
contrast, in very humid cities, such as Houston, heat and pollutants seem to
invigorate summer storm activity by allowing clouds to build higher and fuller
before releasing torrential rains.
1. The fact that urbanization plays a part in climate change can be ___________ (evidence that)
A. ignored B. proved C. omitted D. imagined
2. One of the changes in climate by urbanization is _______
A. more pollutants C. a decrease in pollution
B. undeveloped areas D. different precipitation patterns
3. In cities, the rain patterns have been altered because of _______
A. heat and pollutants C. moisture in clouds
B. microscopic particles D. larger raindrops
4. What does the phrase wreak havoc on in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. do something useful for C. cause damage to
B. have a positive impact on D. make use of
5. Why is Houston mentioned in the passage?
A. To give an example of an area affected by heavy rain
B. To make a contrast with California in pollution
C. Because of Houston’s shortage of precipitation
D. Because Houston allows clouds to build higher and fuller
