Which outcome occurs when increased carbon burial rates consume atmospheric gasses?

💡 Explanation

Reduced atmospheric CO2 from excessive carbon fixation consumption lessens carbonic acid formation; this is the driver of karst dissolution. Therefore, caves, sinkholes, and other karst features form more slowly because lowered carbonic acid, rather than weathering, limits the process.
