Q. Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is a technological process designed to combat climate change.
Statement-II: Weathering can lock away carbon dioxide from the air or soil as bicarbonate, and eventually limestone.

[A] Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I

[B] Both Statement-I and Statement-II are correct and Statement-II is not the correct explanation for Statement-I

[C] Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect

[D] Statement-I is incorrect but Statement-II is correct

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation:

Statement-I is correct: Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) is an innovative, nature-based carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology designed to combat climate change by accelerating the earth’s natural rock weathering process.

Statement-II is correct and Statement-II is the correct explanation for Statement-I: Weathering occurs naturally when rain falls on rocks, and the process can lock away carbon dioxide from the air or soil as bicarbonate, and eventually limestone.
