Is the following an example of a positive or negative feedback loop?
The Earth gets warmer. Permafrost (frozen ground in the Arctic) starts to melt. This releases methane and carbon dioxide trapped in the ice. These greenhouse gases trap more heat in the atmosphere. The Earth gets even warmer, causing more permafrost to melt.
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
Is the following an example of a positive or negative feedback loop?
Carbon dioxide is released in the air. Plants use CO₂ to grow through photosynthesis. More plant growth means more CO₂ is removed from the air. This helps reduce the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere.
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
Is the following an example of a positive or negative feedback loop?
Ice and snow have a high albedo, so they reflect sunlight into space. As the Earth warms, polar ice melts and reflects less sunlight. The Earth absorbs more sunlight, so it warms even more. More ice melts.
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
Is the following an example of a positive or negative feedback loop?
As the Earth warms, more water evaporates into the atmosphere and more clouds form. Clouds have a high albedo (reflect more sunlight back into space) which will cause the Earth to cool down. As Earth cools, there will be less evaporation, and therefore less cloud formation. Less sunlight being reflected will cause the Earth to warm again.
Positive Feedback Loop
Negative Feedback Loop
