Which process limits stalactite growth with seasonal aridity?

💡 Explanation

Stalactite growth stops as evaporation exceeds recharge; thus, water film formation ceases, interrupting the deposition. Calcite precipitation depends on water availability rather than direct CO2 changes or small temperature effects, and vegetation's minor role, therefore it is not as significant driver.
