Question

  1. how might the earths climate differ if larger amounts of water were trapped in glaciers (blocks of ice) on land? type a response

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

If more water is trapped in glaciers, there is less liquid - water available for evaporation and the water cycle. This would lead to less moisture in the atmosphere, resulting in drier conditions in many regions. Also, the albedo effect of glaciers (reflecting more sunlight) would increase, cooling the Earth's surface as more solar radiation is reflected back into space.

Answer:

The Earth's climate would likely be drier and cooler in many regions.
