BioBeyond Unit 7: Finding the Cause Rated 100% Correct!!
Select all the factors below that contribute to Earth's ability to support liquid water. - Distance from the Sun Atmosphere Albedo (How much light is reflected) As you learned in Our Blue Planet, there is one key factor that this simulation does not take into account. What major factor is missing? - Atmospheric Composition Maximum Albedo - 0.76 Minimum Albedo - 0.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) - -19.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) - 2.7 While we can calculate the temperature of an asphalt-covered Earth, is this realistic? - No, it's not feasible to pave the oceans because asphalt is heavy and would sink. Temperature of Earth (degrees C) - -99.7 While we can calculate the temperature of a snow-covered Earth, do you think this is realistic? You will be scored on completion, not accuracy. - Yes, shifts in Earth's climate could bring about a snowcovered Earth.Make a hypothesis - what will the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo and the aerosol it releases do to Earth's albedo and temperature? - Make a hypothesis The aerosol increased albedo, increasing Earth's temperature Temperature of Earth after eruption (degrees C) - -19.8 Degrees colder (C) - 1.6 Was your hypothesis supported by the data? - No it was not supported
