how does global warming alter the albedo of the arctic? select hte two correct answers.
melting glaciers to reveal darker soil
replacing tundra with more rapid growth
changing migration patterns for sea life
melting sea ice to reveal darker water
The two correct answers are:
1. Melting glaciers to reveal darker soil: As global warming causes the Arctic glaciers to melt, it uncovers darker soil underneath. Darker surfaces have a lower albedo, meaning they absorb more solar radiation and contribute to further warming.
2. Melting sea ice to reveal darker water: Global warming leads to the melting of sea ice in the Arctic, leaving behind darker open water. Dark water has a lower albedo than ice, resulting in increased absorption of solar radiation and further warming of the region.
