Energy Transfer, Sea Level Rise, Albedo, Particle Drawings

What has the highest albedo?

• the oceans

• Ice in the Arctic or Antarctic

• the ground

• roads

Albedo can best be described as...

• the temperature at the equator
• the amount of solar radiation absorbed
• the amount of solar radiation reflected
• the air pressure during El Nino

Which type of surface would have the highest albedo effect?

• Forest
• Snow
• Water
• Rock

Which would you expect to have the lowest albedo?

• dark soil

• white sand

• ice and snow

• deep sea water

If the ice caps continue to melt, then there is less albedo at the poles.  This process will continue to melt more ice and have less albedo.  This is an example of a...

• fruit loops
• loop di loop
• negative feedback loop
• positive feedback loop
