a. What would happen to the temperature of Earth's atmosphere if Earth's clouds became thicker, and doubled the rate with which the atmosphere reflects solar energy?

b. What would happen to the temperature of Earth's atmosphere if the Earth's land surfaces became covered in a thick layer of ice, doubling the rate with which the land surfaces reflect solar energy?

c. What would happen to the temperature of Earth's atmosphere if all of the ice on Earth's land surfaces melted, cutting in half the rate with which the land surfaces reflect solar energy?

Draw a picture that:

1) Shows how energy from the Sun interacts with or in EACH of Earth's spheres;

2) Shows how carbon interacts with or in EACH of the Earth's spheres;

3) Shows interactions between energy and the carbon cycle; and
