Assertion (A): The lithosphere matters for climate on geological timescales but not on decadal ones.
Reason (R): Weathering and volcanism operate over millions of years.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Both are true and the reason gives the timescale, and it is why the slow carbon cycle is left out of models used to project the coming century. Millions of years is its timescale. The fast carbon cycle is a quite separate matter.
