Which outcome changes stalactite growth rates upon speleothem saturation?

💡 Explanation

Magnesium inhibits calcite crystal growth on existing stalactites because the process of isomorphic substitution disrupts regular lattice formation preventing further calcite deposition, therefore saturations favoring magnesium alter growth rather than simple enhancements.
