If the sun is shining on the ice, some of that solar energy will be absorbed. But the sun emits radiation at other wavelengths which water will absorb, and thus increases its energy gain. If these gains exceed the energy losses, the ice will warm. If it reaches the melting point, the ice will start to melt.

Sea ice has a much higher albedo compared to other Earth surfaces, such as the surrounding ocean. The sea ice absorbs less solar energy and keeps the surface cooler. Snow has an even higher albedo than sea ice, and so thick sea ice covered with snow reflects as much as 90 percent of the incoming solar radiation.

The intensity of albedo temperature effects depends on the amount of albedo and the level of local insolation (solar irradiance); high albedo areas in the arctic and antarctic regions are cold due to low insolation, whereas areas such as the Sahara Desert, which also have a relatively high albedo, will be hotter due to …

Here on Earth, the albedo effect has a significant impact on our climate. But then when the snow covered area warms and melts, the albedo goes down. More sunlight is absorbed in the area and the temperatures increase. Climate scientists are concerned that global warming will cause the polar ice caps to melt.

And where the ice has melted, dark ocean water is exposed. Because all these changes make the surface darker, the albedo is lower, more solar energy is absorbed, and less is reflected. Holding onto the energy causes more ice to melt, which, in turn, lowers the albedo, causes more energy to be absorbed and more warming.

Bright, reflective surfaces, such as fresh snow, have a high albedo; dark, absorptive surfaces, such as dense forest, have a low albedo.

Albedo has incredible synergy between his skill and Burst (like any character should). He does real good damage and regens energy FAST. Great support for Geo comps, but just as good as a Burst DPS. Zhongli will need more buffs to live up to Albedo.

Vegetation influences both albedo of the earth and the amount of water vapor and carbon dioxide in the air.

I think it might be safe to say that Albedo might be the reincarnated human form of the dragon “Durin”. He’s the adopted son of Alice and his sister by law is Klee. Albedo is also able to hold the “Festering Desire” sword, by the story of course (all characters can hold it, but it’s supposed to be a poison sword).

In addition to all of the above, it’s also theorised that Albedo is an homonculus created by his master, and this theory stems from his Elemental Burst being, Homoncular Nature, as well as because he said he might lose control.

5 He Was Adopted She was the only family he had, and her disappearance greatly bothers him to this day. Albedo himself doesn’t seem to be looking for her, though, and simply accepts that she has disappeared.

Since Albedo doesn’t really enjoy socializing, the fact that he has a relationship with Kaeya close enough for him to sketch him in a teasing manner shows that he cares about him.

Find out which characters to aim for! The Princeps Cretaceus Chapter is Albedo’s Story Quest in Genshin Impact. Learn how to unlock this Quest and where it is found, as well as its rewards and a full walkthrough for completing the Quest.

As soon as you have the item, you will receive the warming buff. This is when you need to make your way to the Dragonspine Statue of Seven. Now, you simply need to destroy the ice blocks using your attacks to ultimately unlock the Dragonspine Statue of Seven and gain complete access to Dragonspine.

Another Scarlet Quartz benefit is the ability to break the ice patches in Dragonspine. The only thing you need to do is use the Scarlet Quartz-powered strike to break the ice formation. Usually, a single hit is enough. Again, this is the only way to break the weird pattern of ice patches in Dragonspine.

Warming Up in Genshin Impact That said, the easiest way to not freeze to death is to stay on these routes as long as possible. Trying to find a shortcut up the mountain or off the beaten path is risky, as there’s no guarantee there will be a heat source nearby to quell the cold.
