Q
Which of the following statements is correct regarding the ice-albedo feedback in climate change?
A. Ice-albedo feedback results in higher solar energy absorption when ice caps melts
B. Ice-albedo feedback leads to an increase in the surface temperature as ice covers more area.
C. Ice-albedo feedback causes ice formation on earth.
D. Ice-albedo feedback causes melting of ice caps on earth.
Correct Answer:
