Surfaces with a HIGH albedo absorb a lot of solar energy

Surfaces with a HIGH albedo reflect a lot of solar energy

The level of albedo is dependent on color of the surface

Surfaces with a high albedo will get very hot in the Sun

A feedback loop has features that do NOT affect one another at all

A POSITIVE feedback loop amplifies/magnifies the effect

A NEGATIVE feedback loop amplifies/magnifies the effect

As temperatures warm, glaciers melt, this decreases albedo, which increases temperatures further... this is an example of a positive feedback loop

When you eat a meal the glucose level in your blood increases, your body then makes insulin, which removes excess glucose from your blood stream, bringing your glucose levels back down to a normal range... this is an example of a positive feedback loop

Temperatures must be below freezing at all times in order for glaciers to exist in an area

Enough snowfall is one of the main factors that contributes to an area having glaciers

The number of glaciers in Glacier National Park has remained the same for the last several decades

While Glacier National Park does have glaciers, remote regions in Russia that record some of the coldest temperatures ever seen do not have glaciers

Glaciers completely melt and reform every year

Glaciers can partially melt and change in size with the seasons, but they do not completely melt every year

The amount of solar energy that an object absorbs has no effect on its temperature
