Which outcome commonly occurs to terminal lakes in endorheic basins due to high evaporation?

A)Increased salt concentration and mineral precipitation
B)Formation of oxbow lakes and meanders
C)Decreased water density and faster convection
D)Deeper water levels and reduced turbidity

💡 Explanation

Because the evaporation rate is higher than inflow in endorheic basins, the dissolved minerals are concentrated, creating hypersaline conditions. This triggers salt precipitation via evaporative concentration, therefore salt flats grow, rather than other fluvial processes happening.
