← GeographyWhich outcome enhances playa lake formation by aeolian fluxes?
A)Increased fine sediment accumulation✓
B)Decreased subsurface water flow
C)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
D)Reduced surface evaporative losses
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment accumulation enhances playa lake formation because deflation concentrates finer particles at the playa due to the aeolian winnowing mechanism. Therefore sedimentation creates a more impermeable basin, rather than increasing outflow to reduce overall accumulation.
