The term used to describe how to measure how reflective the surface is, is the surface albedo. Surface albedo represents the ratio of irradiance reflected to the irradiance recieved by a surface. The proportion reflected is not only determined by properties of the surface itself, but also by the spectral and angular distribution of a solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

jarptica [38.1K]

If we have the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian as a starting point, and we move towards west, than the three oceans that we will encounter will be in the next order:

1. Atlantic Ocean; lies between Europe and Africa from one side (eastern borders), and North and South America on the other side (western borders). It is in fact our starting point.

2. Pacific Ocean; lies between Asia and Australia form one side (western borders), and North and South America from the other side (eastern borders).

3. Indian Ocean; lies between Southeast Asia and Australia (as its eastern borders) and Africa as its western border, and on the north it borders with South Asia.

The northernmost ocean on our planet is the Arctic Ocean, which is lying around the Arctic circle.

The southernmost ocean is the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica with its waters.

What 4 factors influence the amount of runoff
Nastasia [14]
(1) Meteorological/Climate factor: -Rainfall intensity -Rainfall amount -Rainfall duration -Distribution of rainfall over the drainage basin. (2) Phsyiographic factors (e.g. watershed) - watershed size -Watershed shape -watershed slope (3) Vegetation - Dense vegetation leads to less run-off while sparse vegetation leads to more run-off. (4) Urban development. - Roads and buildings have do not allow infiltration into the soil. Water will therefore run off directly into the stream, at a very fast rate and in significant volume.
