ALBEDO
What surface would have a higher level of albedo, light blue or dark purple.
Dark purple would have the lower albedo because it is a darker colour than light blue, and would absorb more light.
What are three types of structures.
Shell, cone, and frame
The carbon cycle is the exchange of carbon in its different forms throughout the atmosphere, the ground, and the water.
Is water a better reflector than snow/ice?
No, the sun's rays reflect better off of snow and ice because of their bright white colour, which is a much better reflector than water
TRUE OR FALSE
Snow has a very high albedo
True, snow has a very high albedo because it reflects most of the light shone on it.
A structure is pretty much any object or thing that provides support
What is an example of which when carbon moves from the land to the air
Burning wood
(And many others)
The amount of sea ice has decreased by 75% in how long?
40 years
Albedo is the specific word that describes the amount of sunlight reflected off of an object.
What is a example of a frame structure
Clue, one of them is a famous icon of France
The Eiffel Tower
(and many, many other answers)
How do humans affect the carbon cycle
Humans, while affecting the ecosystem in a normal way, (we are carbon-based forms of life after all), humans negatively affect the carbon cycle by pumping lots of extra carbon into the atmosphere, causing a phenomenon called Climate Change.
What percent of the Sun's rays are reflected into space by snow and ice.
85%
The range of the scale that measures albedo
0-1
EXAMPLE:
Water on Earth has an average albedo of 0.06 - 0.10%
TRUE OR FALSE an object's mass defines how big it is.
FALSE an object's mass is defined by how much matter is in it.
What is a carbon based form of life
Carbon based forms of life are life forms that are made up of lots of tiny complex molecules, which are based on the carbon atom.
What percent of climate change is caused by melting sea ice (~)
~25%
When ice melts, it exposes some of the more barren, dark ground below, therefore absorbing more heat, therefore warming the Earth, therefore exposing more ground by melting more ice...
What is a static load
A static load is basically the load of the structure itself, and the non-moving things it holds
TRUE OR FALSE The food chain has to do with the carbon cycle.
TRUE the food chain has to do with the carbon cycle because when an animal eats a plant (Or vice versa with carnivorous plants), or a animal eats another animal, they move the carbon from animal to animal. Often, while as part as an animal, the carbon can be exhaled out through the respiratory system, as Carbon Dioxide.
What was around the time that satellites were put into use for taking solid measurements on sea ice
