← GeographyWhich ecosystem consequence happens when volcanic outgassing increases?
A)Ocean acidification increases significantly✓
B)Glacial ice accumulation expands faster
C)Stratospheric ozone layer thickens visibly
D)Continental weathering rates measurably slow
💡 Explanation
Increased volcanic outgassing releases CO2; Ocean acidification accelerates because increased CO2 absorption lowers seawater pH, disrupting marine ecosystems therefore leading to acidification, rather than affecting ice, ozone, or weathering.
