Which statement describes an example of a positive feedback loop?


A. Warm-blooded animals sweat when they get too hot. Sweating is a method by which the body cools itself.

B. A thermostat regulates temperature by turning a furnace or air conditioner on and off.

C. When blood flows from a mild cut, blood clots form to prevent excessive bleeding.

D. As oceans become warmer they release more CO2, which then increases atmospheric and ocean temperatures.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is As oceans get hotter, they release more CO2, which then increases atmospheric and ocean temperatures.  Positive feedback is a process which can be explained like this: A produces more of B which in turn produces more of A.In the example above, high-temperature oceans (A) produce CO2 (B) which then make temperature even higher (A).
