Vance is demonstrating conceptual knowledge
Conceptual knowledge is the clear and detailed understanding of principles, concepts, models or theories and the understanding of the linking relationships between them. Conceptual knowledge is acquired by thoughtful, reflective learning, listening, reading, or viewing. From the question, Vance is demonstrating conceptual knowledge because he has the explicit understanding of why rainfall amounts affect different types of vegetation positively and others negatively.
Explanation:
1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.
2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.
3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.
B ecosystem. They include abiotic factors and biotic factors.
