Sure! Here are simple examples of each type of input into Earth's systems:
1. **Energy Input**: Sunlight warming the Earth.
2. **Matter Input**: Rain falling from the sky.
3. **Information Input**: Changes in temperature that affect animal behaviors.

A negative feedback loop helps keep things stable. For example, with a thermostat, if the temperature in a room gets too cold, the heater turns on to warm it up. When the room reaches the set temperature, the heater turns off. This way, the temperature stays close to what you want, avoiding it getting too hot or too cold!

A positive feedback loop amplifies changes. For example, when ice melts in the Arctic, it exposes darker ocean water, which absorbs more sunlight and causes even more ice to melt. This cycle continues, making the situation worse and leading to more rapid warming and ice loss.

Negative feedback loops promote stability by reducing changes, keeping a system balanced. For instance, they help maintain temperature. In contrast, positive feedback loops lead to instability by increasing changes, pushing a system further away from balance, like causing rapid melting of ice. So, negative feedback keeps things steady, while positive feedback can create big changes or problems.

Negative feedback loops help keep a system stable by balancing things out, like how a thermostat keeps the temperature steady. Positive feedback loops make a system less stable by pushing it further away from balance, like how melting ice causes more melting. So, negative feedback keeps things steady, while positive feedback can cause big changes.
