Rising temperatures create drier conditions in forests.
Larger burned areas result from more dried out and dead vegetation.
Emissions from fires increase, releasing more carbon into the atmosphere.
This is an example of what type of climate feedback loop?
Positive feedback loop
Negative feedback loop

Final answer:

Rising temperatures leading to wildfires and increased carbon emissions showcase a positive feedback loop in the climate system.


Explanation:

Positive feedback loop:

Rising temperatures in forests lead to drier conditions, increasing the likelihood of wildfires, which results in larger burned areas. These burned areas release more carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to further warming, thus creating a positive feedback loop in the climate system.

Example:

  • When more dried out and dead vegetation from larger burned areas emits carbon into the atmosphere, the warming effect is intensified, leading to a continuous loop of rising temperatures and more severe wildfires.
