← GeographyWhich outcome affects regional albedo when flood basalt eruptions solidify?
A)Formation of extensive permanent ice
B)Widespread deposition of lighter ash
C)Release of substantial halide aerosols
D)Development of low-emissivity rock plains✓
💡 Explanation
Low albedo reflects dark colored lava across large areas; radiative forcing results from reduced sunlight reflection. Therefore, rock plains altering net radiation is correct, rather than lighter volcanic ash, because albedo decreases considerably post-eruption.
