Question

choose the correct answer.
when the biogeochemical cycles are functioning normally, they stabilize themselves after a disturbance and return to a normal state. this internal stabilization of the cycle is an example of what?
positive feedback loop
negative feedback loop

Explanation:

A negative feedback loop counteracts changes to restore a system to its original state. In biogeochemical cycles, after a disturbance, the cycle stabilizes and returns to normal, which aligns with the concept of a negative feedback loop. A positive feedback loop would amplify changes rather than counteract them.

Answer:

Negative feedback loop
