← GeographyWhich outcome occurs as lakes experience increased evapotranspiration?
A)Enhanced sediment deposition over time✓
B)Increased rates of tectonic subsidence
C)Higher rates of glacial isostatic rebound
D)Amplified rates of mantle convection
💡 Explanation
Enhanced sediment deposition occurs because solute concentration increases, enhancing flocculation, which promotes particle settling to the sediment via gravitational settling, therefore leading to sediment accumulation, rather than only water loss or earth-based shifting.
