Which outcome results when silicate mineral weathering uptakes atmospheric CO2?

💡 Explanation

Decreased runoff acidity occurs, because silicate weathering drives chemical reactions bonding CO2 into stable compounds thereby consuming hydrogen ions reducing acidity, rather than altering subduction/vent rates; glacial formation varies by insolation.
