← GeographyWhich outcome increases within a closed-basin lake when evaporation dominates inflow?
A)Hypersaline conditions✓
B)Increased mechanical weathering
C)Enhanced nutrient runoff
D)Increased dissolved oxygen levels
💡 Explanation
Hypersaline lake conditions increase because evaporative concentration removes water, leaving dissolved salts behind; this process of evaporative concentration changes water composition; therefore, salinity rises rather than oxygen, weathering or runoff increases that require different climate driving forces.
