How would Life on Earth be affected if the atmosphere did NOT have any Greenhouse Gases/Greenhouse Effect?

Why Does Earth Have an Atmosphere? | Live Science

a
There would likely be a few less organisms on Earth because the lack of greenhouse gases would make Earth a little cooler.
b
There would likely not be life on Earth because Earth's surface would be much hotter without the Sun's rays being blocked.
c
There would likely be more diverse life on Earth because the lack of greenhouse gases would make Earth just a little warmer.
d
There would likely not be life on Earth because its surface would be much colder and Earth's water would be frozen.

a
higher latitudes bring in cooler air
b
higher latitudes bring in warmer air
c
the higher you are in altitude, the harder it is to breath because it's so humid and hot
d
the closer to the equator the warmer the climate becomes due to direct sunlight

Which Statement best summarizes the Milankovitch Cycle?

Milankovitch and Climate | Science at Your Doorstep

a
The stable position of the Earth has no relation to climate change on Earth.
b
The altering orbital movements of the Earth affect the amount of solar radiation allowed into the atmosphere, which impacts climate like glaciation and deglaciation at the poles.
c
Earth's precession (wobble on its axis) gives us predictable seasonal changes.
d
Jupiter is pulling on the Earth, causing a more severe elliptical orbit, which will also pull the ice caps closer to the equator.

Question 13 (1 point)
The biggest concern with Global Warming is the impending Melting of the Ice Caps. As long as they are white and reflective, they are capable of reflecting heat and remaining frozen. As soon atmospheric temperatures rise, and the snow melts, the darker, more absorbant landscape under the snow is slowly revealed, which quickly increases the rate of heat absorption- meling the snow even faster.



What do you call this very important "reflection of light/heat," in this case, by the snow.
