Snow and ice cover less of the Earth's surface as a result of melting due to an increase in global temperature, which also lowers albedo. More energy is absorbed due to the decrease in albedo, which leads to increased warmth and melting.

Global temperature is significantly influenced by the equilibrium between the amount of solar energy reflected and absorbed by the Earth's surface. Snow, ice, and water on Earth have different capacities to reflect and absorb solar energy, and melting polar ice triggers a positive feedback loop that hastens global warming.

Pollution, including soot, decreases the albedo of ice and speeds up melting.

The worldwide use of cleaner energy sources could result in what?Which one is it?a rise in ocean levelsa reduction in acid rain
sammy [17]


The best answer is reduction in acid rain.

Acid rain is rainfall which has been rendered acidic by pollutants  in the atmosphere.  This kind of rain is typically harmful to  forests and lakes.

The main cause of acid rain is human activities. The burning of fossil fuels such coal in electrical generating plants and crude oil products such as gasoline and diesel in car engine  releases  sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere.

These compounds mix with water very high up in the atmosphere and form acid pollutants which  fall on the ground as acid rain.

 Use of clean energy will eliminate burning of fossil fuels and thus no acid rain will be produced.

4 m + 9 + 5 m - 12 equals 42
White raven [17]
Simplifying 4m + 9 + 5m + -12 = 42 Reorder the terms: 9 + -12 + 4m + 5m = 42 Combine like terms: 9 + -12 = -3 -3 + 4m + 5m = 42 Combine like terms: 4m + 5m = 9m -3 + 9m = 42 Solving -3 + 9m = 42 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '3' to each side of the equation. -3 + 3 + 9m = 42 + 3 Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0 0 + 9m = 42 + 3 9m = 42 + 3 Combine like terms: 42 + 3 = 45 9m = 45 Divide each side by '9'. m = 5
