← GeographyWhich consequence results when groundwater discharge exceeds recharge within lake basins?
A)Increased salt concentration in playas✓
B)Formation of thermocline stratification is slowed
C)Higher aquatic plant diversity occurs
D)Reduced seasonal ice coverage forms
💡 Explanation
Increased salt concentration happens because diminished outflow along with evaporation leads to concentration of dissolved solids through evaporative enrichment, rather than being flushed; therefore, playas may form, rather than remaining freshwater systems, or promoting diverse aquatic plant life.
