multiple rivers that are carrying water from melting snow from many mountains to feed Van Lake during springtime. these mountains get around 1.96 km^3 snowfall through winter. if all the snow melts at once, calculate the change in the water level of Van Lake in meters? ( Van Lake surface area: 3713 km^2 , d(snow) = 0.92 g/cm^3 , d(water) = 1.0 g/cm^3 )
Because of their light color, snow and ice also reflect more sunlight than open water or bare ground, so a reduction in snow cover and ice causes the Earth's surface to absorb more energy from the sun and become warmer.
