Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will affect which process more?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Heat balance
The governing concept is the greenhouse effect and Earth’s energy balance. Carbon dioxide absorbs part of the outgoing longwave infrared radiation emitted by Earth’s surface and atmosphere. If its concentration increases, the balance between incoming solar energy and outgoing heat can change, potentially causing warming. Therefore option A is correct; the increase does not directly determine Earth’s rotation speed, ocean depth or an immediate colour change in rocks.
