Which outcome changes stalactite growth rates upon speleothem saturation?

💡 Explanation

Magnesium inhibits calcite crystal growth on existing stalactites because the process of isomorphic substitution disrupts regular lattice formation preventing further calcite deposition, therefore saturations favoring magnesium alter growth rather than simple enhancements.

• Which outcome is amplified within fjords during sea-level rise?
• Which outcome results when extensive wind-driven deflation occurs in semi-arid climates?
• Which outcome primarily results as glacial till undergoes pedogenesis?
• Which outcome is accelerated by increased saturation during subduction?
• Which material redistribution occurs because prolonged andesitic lava flows build pressure?
• Which risk increases when low-silica lava cools rapidly?
