What happens as a result of shrinking polar ice caps? A. More sunlight is reflected
B. More sunlight is absorbed
C. More sunlight hits Earth
The correct answer is B. More sunlight is absorbed.
As polar ice caps shrink, there is less ice to reflect sunlight. Instead, the darker ocean or land surfaces that are exposed absorb more sunlight. This absorption contributes to further warming and can lead to climate change impacts. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
