Which substance has a high albedo?

Biology

padilas [110]3 years ago

The correct answer is B.) White Sand

Explanation:

The term "albedo" is used to describe the amount of radiation a surface reflects, this is also related to how fast a surface increases its temperature. In general terms, the lighter the surface is the most albedo it has as dark/black bodies absorb all radiation. For example, white snow has an albedo of 80% while dark wet soil has radiation of 10%; also, in the case of water, this has a low albedo (around 10%). According to this, the substance that has a high albedo is white sand as this is a light surface and therefore it is expected it reflects most of the radiation it receives, around 50% (or even more) albedo.

Answer:

Which substance has a high albedo? B) White Sand

Explanation:

The albedo is the amount of energy that is reflected by a surface. It is determined by the refletivity of that surface. Albedo can range from 0 (no reflection) to a value of 1 (100% reflection). Generally, dark surfaces have a low albedo and light surfaces have a high albedo. Liquid water is considered to have a low albedo, like dark rock and rich soil.

How have renewable resources helped the human population in the last 100 years? We have increased technology in many ways. Choos
timama [110]
Renewable resources helped the human population in the last 100 years, by giving us a cleaner environment, and allowing us to harness the usage of energy generated from wind, solar, etc, to change it into electricity, which could help things move or give it power. For example, electricity can be used to charge the laptop or phone you are using, it can be used to power cars (Tesla), etc.
Something that is detrimental in the last 100 years, is the technology of missiles and nuclear power. Sure, nuclear power can help create power and the like, however, it can also be used to create weapons of mass destruction. It also pollutes our environment, which can lead to health problems.  Finally nuclear energy is usually associated with Nuclear bombs, which would affect the environment, destroy human population and how they live, and damage the land for hundreds of years. Example of this includes Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which are still affected today from the 1945 atomic bombs. Some solutions to this is to get the affected things to outer space, and send them far away from earth. However, this is costly, and it could have a backlash if not done right. Another way is burying under the ground, however, this should not be used extensively, due to poisoning in the ground, and it would affect the people, animals, and plants.

using these two paragraphs, you can build up the rest of the essay. For the 4th paragraph, compare the two. For the first paragraph, introduce the problem. For the Last paragraph, give a summary, and give your opinion.


hope this helps
