Which outcome is amplified in glacial meltwater streams because of albedo?

A)Accelerated glacial ice mass decline
B)Enhanced carbon sequestration rates
C)Increased benthic algae photosynthetic activity
D)Elevation of stream turbulent viscosity

💡 Explanation

Meltwater streams erode ice because positive feedback increases absorption. The albedo feedback reduces surface reflectivity and thus maximizes radiation absorption; as ice disappears, the process accelerates, therefore increased melting proceeds rather than reduced stream algae.
