Plants release water vapor
The paler color reflects more light
Unlike asphalt soil isn’t black
Identify the ways in which a rooftop garden can reduce the heat absorbed, compared to an asphalt roof. Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
Unlike asphalt, soil is not black.
Soil holds water that would have run off the roof.
The soil is heavier than the asphalt.
The paler color reflects more light.
Plants release water vapor.
The surface is rougher and more varied than the asphalt.
