Which outcome occurs when excessive airborne tephra blankets Arctic ice?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface absorption of solar radiation results because decreased reflectivity drives positive feedback acceleration of the Ice-Albedo Feedback mechanism; therefore, ice surface melting accelerates rather than light reflection, because darker particles increase heat absorption.
