21.

As the Earth warms, increased evaporation produces more clouds. Clouds increase albedo, reflecting more light away from the Earth. The temperature falls. Rates of evaporation fall.

a)

Positive Feedback Loop

b)

Negative Feedback Loop

22.

Positive Feedback Loop

b)

Negative Feedback Loop

23.

a)

decreases

b)
