When carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the amount of energy absorbed by Earth’s surface should?
Decrease
Which change would cause a decrease in the amount of insolation absorbed at Earths surface?
hmm. maybe you should pay attentin in school(:
Is the amount of heat raditation absorbed by a surface depends only on its colour?
No !
Does the amount if heat radiation absorbed by a surface depend only on its colour?
no
What would you use to decrease the amount of thermal energy that moves from one place to another?
You would use thermal isolation.
What does the temperature of a surface tell you?
It tells you the amount of the sun's heat energy that has been absorbed.
What factors contribute to the decrease in the amount of energy reaching earth's surface?
There are several factors that contribute to the decrease in the amount of energy reaching earth's surface. These are: reflection, scattering, absorption by gases and aerosols in the atmosphere, and cloud cover.
How can a wet surface affect friction?
Water can make a flat surface more slippery, which will decrease the amount of friction
Why would eating a fatty protein rich snack while drinking alcohol decrease the amount of alcohol absorbed into the blood?
If your stomach only has alcohol in it, the alcohol will very quickly go into your blood system. With greasy foods, the concentration of alcohol in your stomach is going to be no where near as high. I hope I helped :)
What does reflective mean?
The term reflection refers to the portion of a wave that is not absorbed by a surface, but is returned from it. When a wave impinges on a surface, some of it will absorbed, and some will "bounce off" the surface. The "bouncing off" is reflection, and the amount that is reflected or absorbed will depend on what the wave is and what kind of surface it encounters, as you might expect. Let's look at just a couple of examples. Sunlight that impinges on polished aluminum is almost all reflected and only a few percent is absorbed. If that sunlight hits a black surface, most of it will be absorbed and little will be reflected.
Why increasing in cloud cover will increase albido yet not decrease in temperature earth?
Clouds have a high albedo, meaning they reflect a significant amount of sunlight back into space. This reflection reduces the amount of solar radiation absorbed by Earth's surface, leading to a cooling effect and preventing a decrease in temperature. However, clouds also act as a blanket, trapping some of the heat radiated by the Earth's surface, which can mitigate the cooling effect.
If clouds absorb only a small amount of solar radiation how is Earth's atmosphere heated?
From the surface. Solar radiation is absorbed by the surface and emitted at a longer wavelength, which is essentially heat.
