Answer 1

The two factors that increase the heat absorbed by a land surface are:

1. **Removing snow** - Snow has a high albedo, meaning it reflects a lot of sunlight. Removing snow increases the absorption of heat.

2. **Removing plants** - Plants provide shade and can cool the surface through evapotranspiration. Removing them can lead to increased heat absorption.

So the correct answers are "removing snow" and "removing plants."
