The melting of the ice caps makes Earth warmer because less solar energy is reflected due to loss of Albedo
Elza [17]3 years ago

The answer is; B

The ice caps are made of ice sheets that are mainly white in color. The white color is known to have a high albedo (a measure of how much light that hits a surface is reflected without being absorbed) hence reflects some of the sun’s radiation back to space. When these ice sheets and caps are lost, this albedo decreases and the earth get a little warmer since more sun rays are absorbed by the earth.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is D) the rate of photosynthesis increases and then levels off.</em>

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be described as the process by which plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy from the Sun. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of this reaction.

As we increase the intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. But after a certain time, the reaction rate will level off as there might be enough food produced or the light energy might have caused the temperature to rise which would have caused the enzymes to get denatured.
