Which feedback results from ice sheet melting exposing land?

💡 Explanation

Reduced albedo is the result; exposed darker land absorbs more solar radiation, because less is reflected; this increased absorption increases regional temperatures, leading to further melting, therefore accelerating rather than mitigating warming unlike increased evapotranspiration.
