• Forest

• Snow

• Water

• Rock

What has the highest albedo?

• the oceans

• the ground

• roads

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...

_______is a measure of the reflective characteristics of the Earth's surface.

• Albedo Effect

• Greenhouse Effect

• Climate Effect

How does albedo affect Earth's climate?

• Albedo increases Earth's temperature by absorbing more sunlight.

• Albedo decreases Earth's temperature by reflecting more sunlight.

• Albedo has no effect on Earth's temperature.

• Albedo only affects the temperature at the poles.
