1)This is an example of dynamic equilibrium due to the fact that the rate of change in one direction is the same as the rate of change in the opposite direction. This is an example of negative feedback mechanism because the condition triggers a response that counteracts, or reverses, the changed condition. This allows dynamic equilibrium. | 1)This is an example of dynamic equilibrium due to the fact that the rate of change in one direction is the same as the rate of change in the opposite direction.

2)The Gaia theory is the hypotheses that Earth's organisms adjust the environment to keep it habitable for life.
