Clemson Univ Geology 1010 (Coulson) -- Exam 3 100% Correct Positive feedback Change in the 2nd component (B) enhances the change in the 1st component (A) For Example: Lower the temp > Ice forms > Temp drops again Negative Feedback Change to 2nd component (B) offsets the initial change in 1st component (A) For Example: You do poorly on exam 1, so you start to study more. You then do better on the exam 2, so you start to slack off, and thus do poorly on the exam 3. Insolation Heat energy...
