Consider if Earth warmed up,and more snow fell because of more water vapour in the atmosphere,and that snow then reduced Earth's temperature,which then increased snow cover.Which of the following pairs of words best define first the initial increase in snow fall,and second,the continued increase in snow fall?

The initial increase in snowfall due to warmer temperatures and more water vapor in the atmosphere can be seen as a negative feedback loop - as the temperature increases, more snow falls, which then cools the planet and reduces temperature. However, this cooling effect then leads to even more snowfall, which can be seen as a positive feedback loop. Therefore, the best choice is C - negative feedback loop leading to a positive feedback loop.
