Which example below is a positive feedback relevant to Earth’s global energy balance? a. Increased temperature causes snow to melt. This exposes bare ground, which absorbs more solar radiation than snow, leading to further increases in temperature. b. Increased temperature causes snow to melt, which allows increased vegetation to remove CO2 from the atmosphere thereby reducing temperature. c. Increased temperature causes more solar radiation to enter the atmosphere thereby further increasing temperature. d. Increased CO2 causes the oceans to become more acidic which causes oceanic volcanoes to erupt releasing more CO2 into the environment. e. Burning fossil fuels releases CO2, which traps long-wave radiation causing temperatures to increase.

Physical and Chemical features

The physical property of a compound could be determined without modifying the originality of the compound. Examples of physical properties are density, hardness, color, boiling, and melting point. The chemical property expresses the ability of a compound to undergo a particular chemical change.
