Answer:

D.  (1) low, (2) absorbs, D.  The Poles are tilted most toward or away from the Sun on the Solstices

Explanation:

  • Albedo plays a major role in the energy balance of the earth's surface, as it is defined as the rate of absorption of part of solar radiation. Albedo ranges from 0.2 for dark, rough soil surfaces, some of the values around  to 0.5 show light soil, and snow has an albedo of 0.75
  • Thus most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the soil particles there tectonic rate of sand and snow, in contrast, is very high as compared to the normal dull soil surface.
  • The poles are slightly tilted due to the axial rotation of the earth and hence, away from the sun and the solstice that occurs is mostly of lower intensity. As solstice is defined by the declination of sun rays over the surface of the earth when the sun is directly overhead the noon.
