Question

Describe an environment that would have a low albedo. Explain where on Earth would you likely find this environment and why. Explain why the albedo is low.

Answer 1

Answer:

Tropical rain forest environments

Explanation:

• Albedo means whiteness is the measure of the refection of the diffused solar radiation.  And is measured from the scale of 0 to 100. Dark soil and forest have the lowest of the albedo, as they absorb the light of the sun rather than reflecting it. And snow has the highest rate of reflection of about 80%.
