A large volcanic eruption occurred spewing ash and other gases into the atmosphere. What is the most likely effect of the eruption on the carbon cycle?

A

Decreased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels due to lower global temperatures

B

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels due to lower global photosynthesis rates

c

Increased oceanic carbon dioxide levels due to falling soot(ash) pulling carbon dioxide into the water

D

Decreased oceanic carbon dioxide levels due to water vapor absorbing heat and blocking the carbon dioxide from entering the oceans
