It was built as a political favor by William H.G.

black absorbs heat better than lighter colors, an example is if you go outside barefoot on a summer day, stand on concrete and than walk over to blacktop( or asphalt), and you will feel a temperature change. the asphalt is a darker color, so more heat from the sun is absorbed.
Yes!
yes
A heat island effect is usually found in the form of urban conurbations. Human activities, particularly the replacement of natural terrain by materials such as concrete and asphalt change the thermal absorption of the "island". It is, therefore, much warmer than its immediate surroundings.
yes
lol, you stupid prick
Dirt racing is more forgiving. i have asked many racers over the year and most agree that a driver has to be more percise on asphalt but the car has alot to do with it. Asphalt is more about consistancy. Dirt is more about the driver. On dirt the surface is always changing so the driver has to change his or her style.

Change the depth into feet and multiply:- Asphalt needed = 8*100*2/12 = 133 and 1/3 cubic feet
After coal is burned, it turns into ash. The ash is typically disposed of in ash ponds or landfills, or it can be recycled for use in materials like concrete or asphalt. Burning coal also releases gases and particles into the air, contributing to air pollution and climate change.
Yes it can be done
