In the chemical weathering-CO₂ feedback,as chemical weathering increases,____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chemical weathering-CO₂ feedback works such that as chemical weathering increases, more atmospheric CO₂ is removed by the reaction of minerals with carbonic acid to produce soluble bicarbonate ions, thus decreasing the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere. This, in turn, leads to further cooling of the climate and enhanced chemical weathering, completing the feedback loop. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
