Increased ice causes less energy to be reflected
To check your answers, let's go through each question and explanation.
1. Which effect of temperature rise causes a feedback resulting in a rise in global temperatures?
To determine the correct answer, we need to consider the feedback mechanisms associated with temperature rise. One of the major feedback mechanisms is the increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. As temperatures rise, the warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor, which further enhances the greenhouse effect and leads to additional warming. Therefore, the correct answer is "more water vapor in the atmosphere."
2. How does climate change affect energy in the atmosphere?
Here, you selected "Increased ice causes more energy to be reflected." To verify this answer, we need to understand the impact of ice on energy reflection. Ice, particularly in the form of ice caps and glaciers, has a high albedo, which means it reflects a significant amount of incoming solar radiation back into space. As climate change causes increased ice melt, there is a reduction in the reflective surface, resulting in less energy being reflected and more being absorbed by the Earth's surface. Therefore, the correct answer is "Decreased ice causes more energy to be reflected."
Based on the explanations provided, the correct answers are:
1. more water vapor in the atmosphere
2. Decreased ice causes more energy to be reflected.
Please review your answers accordingly.
Based on the information provided, your answers are correct:
1. The effect of temperature rise that causes a feedback resulting in a rise in global temperatures is more water vapor in the atmosphere.
2. Climate change affects energy in the atmosphere by increased ice causing more energy to be reflected.
