Badwater basin in death valley is covered with white salt crystals. what is likely to be true of this area?
a. the white salt crystals have a high albedo.
b. the white salt crystals are immune to insolation.
c. the white salt crystals have no heat capacity.
d. the white salt crystals absorb most radiation.

The correct answer is (a) The white salt crystals have a high albedo.

A substance appears white in color because it reflects most of the light falling on it. The term albedo shows that most of the sunlight falling on the particular area are reflected back leaving behind the salt of white color. Badwater Basin in Death valley is the hottest, driest and brightest area. Hence, the valley appears to be white in color because of the salt crystals that reflects back the maximum light falling on it.
