Albedo - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

2 types of energy that keep our planet warm - ️️1) Sun / External Heat / Incoming Radiant Energy (Short Wave) (99%) (2 determininants: Distance & Luminosity) 2) Earth / Internal Heat / Outgoing Radiant Energy (Long Wave) (Albedo / Reflectivity (30%)) (Conduction / Convection (1%)) Carbon Pump (Dust Travel) - ️️Mare aridity -> More Dust -> More Nutrients -> More Photosynthesis CO2 - ️️Global Impact on Temperature uniform in the atmosphere Earth's Thermostat Dark ...

Geology Final Exam Questions And Answers Which of the following is accurate about Louis Agassiz? A. He offered ideas that explain the timing of ice-age events but not the severity of temperature change associated with ice ages. B. He stated that there are changes in the amount and distribution of insolation received on the Earth. C. He stated that there are cyclical changes in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt. D. He stated that the presence of erratics in Europe was due to large continen...

Select all the factors below that contribute to Earth's ability to support liquid water. - Distance from the Sun Atmosphere Albedo (How much light is reflected) As you learned in Our Blue Planet, there is one key factor that this simulation does not take into account. What major factor is missing? - Atmospheric Composition Maximum Albedo - 0.76 Minimum Albedo - 0.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) - -19.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) - 2.7 While we can calculate the temperature o...

Clemson Univ Geology 1010 (Coulson) -- Exam 3 100% Correct Positive feedback Change in the 2nd component (B) enhances the change in the 1st component (A) For Example: Lower the temp > Ice forms > Temp drops again Negative Feedback Change to 2nd component (B) offsets the initial change in 1st component (A) For Example: You do poorly on exam 1, so you start to study more. You then do better on the exam 2, so you start to slack off, and thus do poorly on the exam 3. Insolation Heat energy...

Ablation correct answers when outputs are lost from a glacier due to meltwater, rivers, evaporation, calving, decreasing the size of glaciers (the loss of ice mass) Accumulation correct answers when inputs are added to a glacier due to snow fall and avalanches, increasing the size of glaciers (build-up of ice mass) Albedo Effect correct answers The reflectivity of a surface. Light surfaces reflect more than dark surfaces, they have a greater albedo. Anthropogenic CO2 correct answers Car...
