Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWith reference to ‘Black Carbon Aerosols’, consider the following statements
1. Black carbon deposition on snow reduces the albedo of surfaces and increases light absorption
2. Black carbon decreases the number of cloud condensation nuclei in the atmosphere
Select the correct statement(s)Correct
a) 1 only
Black carbon aerosols are produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, and are characterised by strong light absorption. Black carbon deposition in snow reduces the albedo of surfaces — a measure of how much of Sun’s radiations are reflected — which may accelerate the melting of glaciers and snow cover, thus changing the hydrological process and water resources in the region. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Black carbon also increases the number of cloud condensation nuclei in the atmosphere. These changes in meteorological conditions caused by black carbon aerosols make more water vapour form precipitation in South Asia, and the northward transport to the Tibetan Plateau was weakened. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
According to a study, South Asian black carbon aerosols increase glacial mass loss over Tibetan plateau.
