This process transfers tremendous amounts of energy from Earth's surface to the atmosphere, from low latitudes to high ones, and it is also the mechanism most influential in causing precipitation. a. Latent heat exchange

b. Relative humidity

c. Absorption

d. Angle of incidence

e. Albedo

e. Albedo

Explanation:

Albedo is the reflectance of solar energy from the earth's surface. Albedo is said to determine the amount of shortwave radiation to be absorbed by surfaces. When initial absorption of shortwave radiation is limited, it impacts the longwave energy radiated by the earth's surface, as well as energy availability for evapotranspiration and energy to be converted to sensible heat. Ice, barren land, and sand have higher albedo, which causes higher reflectance of shortwave radiation.
