Question

5. If radiative forcing were to increase in a particular region of Earth, what would you expect to happen to average temperatures? Please Explain.


A. Average temperature isn't related to radiative forcing.

B. Average temperatures would increase.

C. Average temperatures would decrease.

D. Average temperatures wouldn't change.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Average temperature would increase

Explanation:

If radioactive forcing were to increase in a part of the earth, the amount of insolation received would exceed that which is radiated back from the earth surface.

Solar insolation alters temperature on the earth surface as it causes heating. This would then lead to an increase in temperature.
