Question

1. select the statement that accurately describes the albedo values of these four surfaces: fresh snow, sea ice, shallow ponds on sea ice, and open ocean. albedo values fresh snow reflects more light than sea ice. open ocean water reflects more light than sea ice. sea ice and fresh snow reflect the same amount of sunlight. if the open ocean water is arctic then all surfaces will have the same albedo due to the cold. submit answer 0 / 4 submissions used heads up! you need to submit this answer for it to save and be graded.

Explanation:

Albedo is the measure of the reflectivity of a surface. Fresh snow has a very high albedo, reflecting a large - portion of sunlight, while sea ice has a lower albedo than fresh snow. Open - ocean water has a much lower albedo as it absorbs more light.

Answer:

Fresh snow reflects more light than sea ice.
