An example of negative feed back is...

• A hurricane going over land, weakening the storm

• The sun melting ice, reducing the amount of reflective surface, increasing the rate of melting

• A snowball rolling down a snowy mountain, picking up more snow

Forces of the Earth that have built up its landmass are considered...

• Lava

• Destructive Forces

• Constructive Forces

• Energy

An example of positive feedback would be...

• When your body gets too warm, you begin to sweat to prevent your temperature from rising higher

• A hurricane moving over land, cutting off its energy source, causing it to consistently weaken

• The sun melting ice, reducing the amount of reflective surface, increasing the rate of melting
