2) Most scientists infer that a major factor in the increased rate of melting of Earth's glaciers is A) a decrease in the output
of energy from the Sun B) a decrease in Earth's atmospheric transparency C) an increase in Earth's orbital distance from the Sun D) an increase in carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere
Answer: Most scientists infer that a major factor in the increased rate of melting of Earth's glaciers is:
B) a decrease in Earth's atmospheric transparency
Explanation: Due to the decrease in the Earth's atmospheric transparency (that is, the atmosphere on Earth is not more transparent or clean, it has been congested by dangerous gas such as carbon monoxide), there is increase in the melting of the Earth's glaciers.
