Which undesired outcome frequently results when geothermal power plants discharge into cooling reservoirs?

💡 Explanation

Scaling occurs because the rapid temperature change decreases mineral solubility, causing oversaturation, therefore precipitation exceeds dissolution rather than equilibrium or undersaturation. This causes scale formation impacting operational efficiency rather than direct corrosion or H2S changes.
