The absorption of solar energy decreases during an ice age.

During an ice age, the Earth's surface is covered by a larger area of ice and snow. This increased ice and snow cover increases the Earth's albedo, or reflectivity, causing more solar energy to be reflected back into space rather than being absorbed by the surface. As a result, the absorption of solar energy by the Earth's surface decreases during an ice age.

Which statement describes sea surface temperatures along the South American coast and Pacific trade winds during El Nino?
The answer that best describes this is.... the sea surface temperatures become warmer than normal; and Pacific trade winds are from the west!
What structure provides a large surface are for absorption in the ileum?
microvilli
What is the advantage of the increased surface area in the small intestine?
Simply to increasing the efficiency of digestion and absorption.
What characteristic of these filaments helps with nutrient absorption?
large surface area
Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Sorry, but your data is wrong. Nitrogen does reach the surface. Its 4/5 th of the atmosphere.
What best describes the earths surface?
all ofthe changes on earth surface occur slowly
When waves energy is lost to a surface making waves weaker what is it called?
Absorption
What statement best describes the lithography technique?
Lithography technique uses a stone (lithographic limestone) or a metal plate with a smooth surface to transplant an image onto another surface.
Which statement describes the general relationship between temperature and luminosity of main sequence stars?
as surface temperature increases, luminosity increases
How is wave changed by reflection?
Its direction of propagation is altered. There may be other changes such as absorption, polarisation, dispersion and so on but these depend on the nature of the wave and of the reflecting surface.
Which statement describes sea surface temperatures along the South American coast and Pacific trade winds during El Nino?
The answer that best describes this is.... the sea surface temperatures become warmer than normal; and Pacific trade winds are from the west!
What statement best describes Auguste Rodin's approach to sculpture?
Rodin rendered figures in clay to capture expresive variations in surface textur
Which statement best describes the light that will cause emission of electrons from a given metal through the photoelectric effect?
This is an interaction between photons and the surface of the metal.
Why are villi ideal for absorption?
They have a large surface area.
How does folding the small intestine help to speed up absorption?
Increased surface area allowing for greater nutrient absorption.
What is a true statement about how the Earth's surface is changing?
The Earth's surface is always changing. It changes through slow processes and rapid processes. Some slow processes are weathering and erosion. Other changes are rapid processes, such as volcanic eruption, landslides and avalanches, and earthquakes.
Why is high surface area to volume ratio important to fungus?
Fungi make their food via absorption, and a large surface area makes nutrient absorption extremely efficient.
