When there is more sea ice and larger ice caps, what happens to solar radiation?

• More radiation gets reflected away from Earth's surface

• More radiation gets absorbed and heats up the Earth

• Sea ice/Ice caps have no effect on solar radiation

• The sun releases more energy

When there is more sea ice and larger ice caps and higher ALBEDO, how does that impact temperature?

• Earth's surface gets colder

• Earth's surface gets warmer

• No impact on temperature

• The sun releases more energy

The movement of Earth's crust and continents is which of the following?

• Tectonics

• Glaciation

• Greenhouse Gasses

• Ocean Currents

Which of the following is obliquity?

• Axial tilt changing between 22.1-24.5 degrees

• The shape of the Earth's orbit (elliptical or circle)

• Ocean currents

• Volcanoes

• Makes Earth warmer everywhere

• Makes Earth colder everywhere

• It releases more greenhosue gasses
