Answer 1

The two correct answers regarding how global warming alters the albedo of the Arctic are:

1. Melting sea ice to reveal darker water.
2. Melting glaciers to reveal darker soil.

Both of these processes lead to a decrease in albedo (the reflectivity of the surface), as darker surfaces absorb more solar radiation rather than reflecting it.
