Biology

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.

The same agricultural practices are used in every country of the world.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Well you already know the answer is false but I want to elaborate on this for other people who have the same / similar question.

The main source of meat, milk and eggs in most, if not all, countries are Factory-Farms, which are highly abusive, cruel industries that provide meat to around 99% of business I assume haha. A lot of businesses that claim to use "humane" practices of getting meat, dairy and eggs are not true, there is really no human way to get meat or dairy (you can humanely get eggs though factory farms don't) you can read more about this stuff on SentientMedia (graphic content warning)

Farms around the world though use different ways of harvesting (by hand, by machine etc.) planting, different kinds of crops, different ways of waters, what kind of land they plant their crops in.

Hope this helps

have a nice day((:
