Which effect increases when silicate weathering accelerates during pedogenesis?

A)Atmospheric carbon dioxide consumption increases
B)Global continental ice sheet expansion
C)Oceanic methane hydrate formation accelerates
D)Upper mantle convective heat flux reduces

💡 Explanation

Enhanced silicate weathering increases atmospheric CO₂ consumption due to mineral carbonation via chemical weathering, a vital process of pedogenesis; therefore, a negative feedback on global temperatures results, rather than immediate ice sheet expansion which is glaciation.
