Which outcome occurs when urban expansion reduces evaporative cooling?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface temperatures cause the urban heat island effect because the latent heat flux decreases due to less evapotranspiration; therefore, temperatures rise, rather than decreasing ozone because that is a chemical process influenced by pollutants.
