Insolation is defined as the " the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface." It is reflected<span> and scattered back to space through its interaction with clouds, water vapour, dust and pollen, known collectively as aerosols or it is absorbed by clouds and gaseous elements and hence heats the atmosphere. </span>

There are actually several great characteristics of the ice sheet that makes a good reflector of insulation. One of the main characteristics is that the ice and snow are both white. Other ways you put this is the ice sheet is smooth, light in color, and shiny/glassy. Any of these are acceptable answers.

Differentiate between tropical evergreen and tropical deciduous forests.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The tropical forests can roughly be divided into two major groups, tropical evergreen forests and tropical deciduous forests. The division is made in accordance to the characteristics of the trees.

The trees in the tropical evergreen forests are green throughout all of the year. The reason behind this is that they have constant temperature all year long, and constantly high amounts of rainfall all year long, so there is no need for them to shed their leaves.

The trees in the tropical deciduous forests, on the other hand, are shedding their leaves. This means that in one part of the year these trees have green leaves, while in the other part of the year they are shedding their leaves and the branches are stripped. The main reason behind this is that the rainfall occurs only seasonally, when pretty much all rainfall for the year falls in few months. After that, a very long period of drought and very high temperatures starts. In order to survive and not get damaged, the trees are shedding their leaves, thus they almost put them selves in an hibernating phase until the next rainy season.
