ocean
Which of the following would have lowest albedo?
tundra
Which of the following would reflect the most solar radiation?
snow
vegetation
Lower Albedo means:
more solar radiation is reflected
more solar radiation is absorbed
Which of the following would absorb the most solar radiation?
Higher albedo means:
Which of the following actually reflects the most solar radiation back to space?

If the planet returns to the days where it was covered in ice then:
the earth's albedo will decrease and the temperature will increase
the earth's albedo will increase and the temperature will increase
the earth's albedo will decrease and the temperature will decrease
the earth's albedo will increase and the temperature will decrease
If all of the ice caps melt in the arctic and antarctica then:
the earth's albedo will increase and temperatures will increase
the earth's albedo will decrease and temperatures will increase
the earth's albedo will decrease and temperatures will decrease
the earth's albedo will increase and temperatures will decrease
