← GeographyWhich outcome is directly intensified when extensive deflation lowers regional elevation?
A)Increased salt accumulation at surface✓
B)Reduced temperature inversion near ground
C)Higher rates of chemical weathering
D)Decreased fluvial sediment transport
💡 Explanation
Increased deflation intensifies water table interactions, enhancing capillary action. Salt accumulation near the surface is heightened primarily through capillary action, because lowered elevation brings saline groundwater nearer to the surface, therefore increasing evaporation rather than reducing temperature inversions.
