75%
100%
If a surface has an albedo of 0, how much light is reflected?
0%
50%
75%
100%
If a surface has an albedo of 0, how much light is absorbed?

Which of these are true about the difference between weather and climate
weather is long term
weather is short term
climate is short term
High or low albedo: snow
high
low
High or low albedo: dirt
high
low
High or low albedo: thick clouds
high
low
As the Earth warms, increased evaporation produces more clouds. Clouds increase albedo, reflecting more light away from the Earth. The temperature falls. Rates of evaporation fall.
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
A organization posts an advertisement with a very "click-baity" title and image on a social media platform. The title and image draw in people to click on the ad. As the ad receives more views, the algorithm shows the ad to more people.
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
As the Earth warms, ice cover melts, exposing soil or water. Albedo decreases. More energy is absorbed by the Earth’s surface. Global temperature rises. More ice melts.
