Multiple Choice

which will most likely absorb more solar energy, a field of light-colored crops or a forest of dark trees?

1

The field, dark surfaces have a lower albedo and thus reflect less and absorb more solar energy.

2

The field, light surfaces have a lower albedo and thus reflect less and absorb more solar energy.

3

The forest, light surfaces have a lower albedo and thus reflect and absorb more solar energy.

4

The forest, dark surfaces have a lower albedo and thus reflect less and absorb more solar energy.
