Positive Feedback Loop
Reinforcing cause-effect cycles
Positive feedback loops amplify changes, driving exponential growth or runaway effects.
- amplification
- instability
- runaway
- examples
- system dynamics
Mechanism
An action increases an outcome, which further increases the action.
Examples
Ice melt reduces albedo, causing more warming; viral content draws more shares.
Controls
Checks or negative feedback are needed to stabilize systems.

Why it matters
Climate Resilience
Climate resilience reduces damage from climate-related hazards and speeds recovery.
Comparison
Mitosis vs Meiosis
Mitosis makes matching cells for growth and repair, while meiosis creates sex cells and introduces genetic variation.
