A higher proportion of black daisies on Daisy World can impact the hydrologic cycle leading to

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A higher proportion of black daisies would result in a decrease in albedo (reflectivity of sunlight) on Daisy World, leading to higher temperatures. This increase in temperature would result in more evaporation, which in turn would lead to more cloud cover. The retention of greenhouse water vapor in these clouds would trap more outgoing longwave radiation, contributing to a positive feedback loop and further increasing the temperature. Therefore, option A is the best choice as it accurately reflects this impact on the hydrological cycle.
