Which is the correct pairing of increased CO2 emissions and cause of mass extinctions?
A) increased CO2-decreased global temperature
B) increased CO2-reduced acidification of freshwater
C) increased CO2-continental weathering-ocean anoxia
D) increased CO2-acid rain
Continental Weathering
The process by which the surface of the earth's continents is broken down and eroded, often influencing global climate by cycling carbon.
Ocean Anoxia
A condition in oceanic environments where there is a severe deficiency or absence of oxygen, potentially leading to mass extinctions or significant ecosystem changes.
