Editing Temperate climate (section)

=== Urbanization ===
Temperate regions have the majority of the world's population, which leads to [[Urbanization|large cities]]. There are a couple of factors why the climate of large city landscapes differs from the climate of rural areas. One factor is the strength of the absorption rate of buildings and asphalt, which is higher than that of natural land. The other large factor is the burning of fossil fuels from buildings and vehicles. These factors have led to the average climate of cities to be [[Urban heat island|warmer than surrounding areas]].<ref name=":0" />
