← GeographyWhich result is enhanced when meandering streams encounter increased soil surface evaporation?
A)Formation of playa lake basins✓
B)Greater geyser eruption frequency
C)Increased river delta subsidence
D)Expanded continental glacier calving
💡 Explanation
Playa lake formation increases due to greater evaporation rates because deposition of dissolved minerals increases during streamflow stagnation promoting basin alkaline soil, therefore resulting in arid basins, rather than other forms relying on other atmospheric or tectonic mechanics.
