Question
climate change is a great example of which type of feedback loop? positive feedback negative feedback neutrality
In a positive feedback loop, a change leads to further changes in the same direction. Here, melting sea ice (due to warmer oceans) reduces the Earth's albedo (as less sunlight is reflected), increasing the absorption of sunlight. This, in turn, warms the oceans more, causing more sea - ice melting. This cycle of amplification is characteristic of a positive feedback loop. Negative feedback loops would counteract the initial change (e.g., if a change led to a process that reduced the original change). Neutrality is not a standard term for such feedback mechanisms in this context.
