Answer:
This is an example of a: negative feedback loop.
Explanation:
The Earth's climate system is in dynamic balance. It is therefore continuously adjusting to forced disturbances, and as a result, the climate is altered. A change in any part of the climate system, initiated by internal or external forcing mechanisms, will have a much wider consequence. As the effect cascades through the associated components in the climate system, it is amplified. This is known as feedback.
As an effect is transferred from one sub-component of the system to another, it will be modified in character or scale. In some cases the initial effect may be amplified (positive feedback), while in others negative feedback may be reduced).
An example of a positive feedback mechanism involves water vapor. A warmer atmosphere will potentially increase the amount of water vapor in it. Since water vapor is a greenhouse gas, more energy will be trapped that will increase the atmospheric temperature even more. This in turn produces more water vapor, establishing a positive feedback.
