Which 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.
