Volcanic activity decreased.
is this correct
No, I apologize for the error in my response. The correct answer is:
Earth cooled.
Reduced methane concentrations in the atmosphere contribute to cooling of the Earth because methane is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere. When methane levels decrease, the greenhouse effect is weakened, resulting in cooler temperatures on Earth.
