Question

question 13 of 25 which of these is part of a feedback loop that results in a cooling effect on earth? a. more evaporation of water due to warmer temperatures causes low, thick clouds to form. b. as snow and ice melt, the underlying surfaces absorb heat from solar radiation. c. when permafrost melts, methane is released into the atmosphere. d. burning fossil fuels increases the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Water evaporation forming low - thick clouds can reflect more solar radiation back into space, leading to a cooling effect. Melting snow/ice exposes surfaces that absorb more heat, permafrost - methane release and fossil - fuel burning all contribute to warming.

Answer:

A. More evaporation of water due to warmer temperatures causes low, thick clouds to form.
