Question

categorize each phenomenon based on its feedback mechanism. move each phenomenon to the correct column. positive feedback negative feedback planting trees, absorbing more co2 increased ch4, increasing global heat increased clouds, reflecting more sunlight melting ice, reducing earth’s albedo

Explanation:

Positive feedback amplifies a change, while negative feedback counter - acts it. Planting trees absorbing more CO₂ helps reduce the greenhouse effect (negative feedback). Increased clouds reflecting more sunlight cools the Earth (negative feedback). Increased CH₄ increasing global heat is a positive feedback as it enhances the warming. Melting ice reducing Earth's albedo leads to more heat absorption and more melting, a positive feedback.

Answer:

Positive Feedback: increased CH₄ increasing global heat, melting ice, reducing Earth’s albedo
Negative Feedback: planting trees, absorbing more CO₂, increased clouds, reflecting more sunlight
