Feedback cycles play an important role in regulating the Earth's climate. Ice caps located at the Earth's poles have albedo index scores that are
than other types of terrain like grass or ocean. This means that the snow and ice
more radiation back into space than other types of terrain. However, as the Earth's global average temperatures increases, the amount of snow and ice in the polar regions decreases. As a result, more
is absorbed, causing temperatures to increase even more. This is an example of a
feedback cycle because the effect of the action causes the cycle to

Feedback cycles play an important role in regulating the Earth's climate. Ice caps located at the Earth's poles have albedo index scores that are **higher** than other types of terrain like grass or ocean. This means that the snow and ice **reflect** more radiation back into space than other types of terrain. However, as the Earth's global average temperatures increase, the amount of snow and ice in the polar regions decreases. As a result, more **solar radiation** is absorbed, causing temperatures to increase even more. This is an example of a **positive** feedback cycle because the effect of the action causes the cycle to **continue**.
