Blue Planet Finding the Cause exam questions and verified correct answers 2023

Select all the factors below that contribute to Earth's ability to support liquid water - correct answer Albedo Distance from the sun Atmosphere 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? - correct answer Atmospheric Composition What are the maximum and minimum albedo values for these planets? - correct answer Maximum: 0.76 Minimum: 0.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) -1st - correct answer -19.1 Temperature of Earth (degrees C) -2nd - correct answer 2.7 While we can calculate the temperature of an asphalt-covered Earth, is this realistic? - correct answer No, it's not feasible to pave the oceans because asphalt is heavy and would sink. Temperature of Earth (degrees C) -3rd - correct answer -99.7 While we can calculate the temperature of a snow-covered Earth, do you think this is realistic? - correct answer Yes, shifts in Earth's climate could bring about a snow-covered Earth. Make a hypothesis - what will the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo and the aerosol it releases do to Earth's albedo and temperature? - correct answer The aerosol increased albedo, decreasing Earth's temperature
