← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when increased carbon burial rates consume atmospheric gasses?
A)Enhanced continental weathering dominates feedback
B)Glacial advance reaches new minima
C)Reduced effectiveness of karst dissolution✓
D)Accelerated rates of thermohaline circulation
💡 Explanation
Reduced atmospheric CO2 from excessive carbon fixation consumption lessens carbonic acid formation; this is the driver of karst dissolution. Therefore, caves, sinkholes, and other karst features form more slowly because lowered carbonic acid, rather than weathering, limits the process.
