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

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

Both of these processes reduce the albedo (the reflectivity) of the surface, as darker surfaces absorb more sunlight compared to lighter surfaces such as ice and snow, leading to further warming.
