Question

With an area of 200 square miles, Badwater Basin in Death Valley, California,

is among the largest salt flats in the world. Crystals made of sodium chloride
make up most of the white, salty ground. What is likely to be true of this area?

A. it is immune to insolation.
B. it has no heat capacity.
C. it has a high albedo.
D. it receives no radiation.

Answer 1

The answer is ” c ”it has a high albedo hope it helps you good luck

Answer 2

The correct option is;

C. It has a high albedo

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of the property of a material that indicate the propensity of the material to reflect light without the light being absorbed is known as the measure of the albedo

A white surface reflects most of the incident light on its surface, and therefore is said to have a high albedo while a dark surface absorbs most of the incident light and is said to have a low albedo

A natural item with a low albedo is grass which reflects 20% of the radiation while the Badwater Basin which is a white sodium chloride salt flat has a high albedo.
