Final warming during the Late Paleocene led to the warmest climate in the past 65 million years. This rapid warming about 55 million years ago was likely caused by the melting of methane hydrates.
Global temperatures have risen by 5-8°C. The onset of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum is associated with volcanic activity and uplift associated with the North Atlantic magmatic region, causing extreme changes in the global carbon cycle and significant increases in temperature.
A period of severe global warming 55 million years ago was caused by not one but two injections of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The rate of increase suggests that ancient warming events could have important lessons for today's climate.

The statement that weathering occurs as a result of direct contact with the atmosphere is true. Weathering is a process by which rocks are broken down by direct contact with the atmosphere which is caused by exposure to heat, ice, and elements in the atmosphere. Two type of weathering are: Physical and Chemical weathering.Physical weathering occurs when rocks, soil, or minerals are broken down through mechanical means.Chemical weathering occurs when rocks, soil, or minerals are broken down through reactions with chemicals that are in the air or are biologically introduced.
