Which outcome results when accelerated hydrolysis contributes to weathering?

💡 Explanation

Reduced carbon sequestration occurs because chemical weathering via hydrolysis transforms silicate rocks into carbonates; therefore, more CO2 remains atmospheric rather than stored in rock, rather than ion concentration increase which is balanced by precipitation.
