Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary. An example of a positive feedback loop may be:
As air temperatures increase, evaporation increases. Warmer temperatures also increase the capacity to absorb water vapor. More water vapor in the atmosphere accelerates the greenhouse effect. As temperatures increase further, more water vapor can enter the atmosphere, causing temperatures to increase even more.
An example of a negative feedback loop may be:
As air temperatures increase, evaporation increases, leading to more condensation and cloud formation. Low, thick cloud cover increases the albedo of the atmosphere, thereby having a cooling effect on Earth.
