weathering process is too slow to damp out shorter - term fluctuations, and there are some complexities — glaciation can enhance the mechanical erosion that provides surface area for chemical
weathering (some of which may be realized after a time delay — ie when the subsequent warming occurs — dramatically snow
in a Snowball Earth
scenario, where the frigid conditions essentially shut down all chemical
weathering, allowing CO2 to build up to the point where it thaws the equatorial region, at which point runaway albedo feedback drives the Earth into a carbonic acid sauna, which ends via rapid carbonate rock formation), while lower sea level may increase the oxidation of organic C
