← GeographyWhich feedback loop results from increased dissolved CO2?
A)Enhanced chemical weathering rate✓
B)Reduced silicate mineral formation
C)Decreased global albedo effect
D)Diminished carbonate precipitation
💡 Explanation
Increased CO2 enhances carbonic acid formation, amplifying the rate of chemical weathering via dissolution; because rock minerals dissolve faster, weathered material increases surface area which further accelerates dissolution, therefore positive feedback occurs, rather than a negative or diminished reaction.
