As more ice in the Arctic Ocean melts, what effect does this have on the water? A. Heat absorption increases as the albedo incre
ases. B. Heat absorption increases as the albedo decreases. C. Heat absorption decreases as albedo the decreases. D. There is no effect on heat absorption.
B. Heat absorption increases as the albedo decreases
Explanation:
The ice has very high albedo. The reason for this is that it has white coloration, and the light coloration are highly reflective of the sunlight. As the ice melts though, the water surface increases, and the water, unlike the ice, has the capability of absorbing much more heat. With much more water, there will be much more absorption of heat, and since the water has low albedo on only 10, the albedo will decrease on a global level.
The lower rocks are old while the overlying is newer.
Explanation:
Red sandstone is overlain by a red shale with bedded gypsum sows the age of the rocks. The boundary in the rock bodies for about 1km marks the along the fault displaced the two rocks bodies.
As 50 meters, thick red sandstone is found it shows the discontinuities in the rocks. The rocks formed at the bottom are oldest and with newer deposits of gypsum.
