A study in a glaciated mountainous region indicates a correlation between temperature inversions and glacial retreat. During these inversions, the region experiences reduced visibility due to trapped pollutants. What dual impact do temperature inversions likely have in this scenario?
(Select two correct choices.)
Un estudio en una región montañosa cubierta de glaciares indica una correlación entre las inversiones de temperatura y el retroceso de los glaciares. Durante estas inversiones, la región experimenta una visibilidad reducida debido a los contaminantes atrapados. ¿Qué impacto dual probablemente tengan las inversiones de temperatura en este escenario?
(Seleccione dos opciones correctas).
Preservation of glacial ice
Preservación del hielo glacial
Acceleration of glacial melting
Aceleración del derretimiento de los glaciares
Trapping pollutants
Atrapamiento de contaminantes
Increased vertical mixing
Enhanced albedo
