Answer:
The rain forests would absorb more incoming solar radiation because rain forests have darker colors and rougher surfaces than deserts. Dark colors absorb more energy than light colors and rough surfaces absorb more energy than smooth surfaces.
Explanation:
correct on Ed
The energy absorbed by rain forests is more than the desert from the incoming solar radiation.
Why Rain forest absorbs more energy than the desert?
Rain Forests are characterized as closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture dependent vegetation.
These are characterized by a warm and wet climate with no substantial dry season along with receiving an average rainfall of not less than 168 cm and exceed 1000 cm.
Desert on the other hand is a barren landscape with little precipitation and living conditions are hostile for plants and animals.
The rain forest absorb more energy than desert because:
- Darker appearance resulting into more absorption
-Thick canopy which prevents the light to penetrate deeply
- Forests are hard and erect whereas deserts have loose granules thus cannot absorb more energy as it keeps on dispersing.
A natural rainforest emits and absorbs vast quantities of Carbon Dioxide and on a global scale, long term fluxes are approximately in balance so that an undisturbed rainforest would have a net impact on atmospheric CO2 levels.
