A referring question
"Crucially, from our perspective, such processes are marked by strong vertical patterns. Major urban areas create giant, warmed-up domes or ‘heat islands’. These are warmed by the city’s release of energy; the extra-high concentration of greenhouse gases (and other pollutants) that linger above cities; and the tendency of concrete and asphalt to absorb the sun’s heat quickly (a process which creates strong vertical and horizontal gradations in temperature)."
Does the phrase that inside the parentheses refer to the entire sentence or only to the last clause that is after the last semicolon? Thanks in advance.
