Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021 As a result of urbanization, natural surfaces are replaced by artificial surfaces that trap heatsuch as buildings, pavements and asphalt, so residential areas have higher temperature values than rural areas. This effect, defined as the urban heat island,
