← GeographyWhich feedback results when volcanic tephra deposition increases albedo?
A)Planetary cooling accelerates glacier formation✓
B)Atmospheric warming inhibits cloud formation
C)Decreasing CO2 causes ocean acidification
D)Increased carbon fixation enhances plant growth
💡 Explanation
Tephra increases Earth's albedo causing increased reflection; this creates a positive radiative feedback, because lower energy absorption results in planetary cooling that favors glacier formation rather than alternative warming scenarios.
