About This Reader
Heat domes are caused by specific atmospheric patterns, primarily involving high-pressure systems. These high-pressure areas act like a cap, trapping hot air underneath and preventing it from escaping. Clear skies and calm weather associated with these systems allow the sun to continuously heat the ground and air, increasing temperatures. Occasionally, warmer-than-usual ocean temperatures contribute to the formation of heat domes by heating the air above, which then moves over land. Climate change can intensify and increase the frequency of these events. Understand the main causes of heat domes and test your knowledge with engaging multiple-choice questions.
