Question

If the Earth's albedo were to increase the globally average air temperature would... Select one O a. increase O b. decrease O c. remain constant since the albedo is not a factor that controls the air temperature When a large volcano erupts, like Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, the Earth's albedo years after the eruption. Select one O a. increases, increases O b. decreases; increases O c. increases; decreases O d. decreases, decreases and globally average temperatures __ for a few e, increases, stays the same True or False: The net affect of human activity on Earth is to brighten its appearance from space and thus increase its albedo Select one a. True O b. False

Explanation / Answer

1 answer - decreases

albedo is the amount of sun radiation that is reflected back to space by an object.

so if the albedo is high ,then more radiation is refleced back to space, which means the temperature will become cooler as more radiation is reflected .

2 answer - option C , increases, decreases

eruption of volcanoes releases large amounts of aerosol particles and sulfate particles.

they acts as a good albedo surfaces, so they reflect radiation back to space and results in the decrease in surface temperatures.
