← GeographyWhich outcome results when accelerated hydrolysis contributes to weathering?
A)Reduced atmospheric carbon sequestration✓
B)Decreased dissolved ion concentration
C)Glacial ice-loss stabilization trend
D)Accelerated formation of evaporite deposits
💡 Explanation
Reduced carbon sequestration occurs because chemical weathering via hydrolysis transforms silicate rocks into carbonates; therefore, more CO2 remains atmospheric rather than stored in rock, rather than ion concentration increase which is balanced by precipitation.
