Question
multiple choice 1 point a design solution proposes covering glaciers with reflective material to reduce melt. which principle makes this effective? adding salinity to seawater increasing density of the glacier decreasing energy transfer by reflecting sunlight removing co₂ from the atmosphere
Covering glaciers with reflective material reduces the amount of sunlight absorbed by the glacier. Sunlight provides energy for the glacier to melt. By reflecting sunlight, energy transfer to the glacier is decreased, thus reducing melt.
