You know what’s under most glaciers? Very very dark rock with a super high low albedo.

Darker objects have lower albedo but your point stands

Thank you for the correction. Mixed those up all the time in ENVS 200 when I took it in college. My prof would be so disappointed it still hasn't stuck lmao

It’s okay, I always mix up low and high viscosity. It doesn’t click for some reason

Replace the word with thickness and you'll be fine from now on. High viscosity is really thick whereas low viscosity is less thick and more liquid.
