Which atmospheric effect amplifies surface temperature increase strongest with decreasing albedo?

💡 Explanation

When albedo decreases, more solar radiation is absorbed, increasing surface temperature, which raises water evaporation, hence amplifying greenhouse effect because water vapor absorbs infrared radiation. Therefore, greenhouse effect increases temperature, rather than cooling or currents requiring changes in height or Earth's rotation.
