 23-25. soruları aşağıdaki parçaya göre cevaplayınız. 

"Cities are often several degrees warmer than the surrounding countryside, a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect. Densely packed buildings and paved surfaces absorb sunlight during the day and release it slowly at night, effectively trapping heat. The roughness of the urban landscape also slows down the wind that would otherwise carry warm air away. In addition, the lack of vegetation reduces evaporation, a natural process that cools the air. Planners therefore argue that planting trees and creating green roofs would not merely improve the appearance of cities but also lower temperatures significantly. However, some experts caution that such measures alone cannot substitute for a broader reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."
