Which outcome occurs when intensive irrigation is applied?

💡 Explanation

Salinization occurs from irrigation water evaporation because capillary action draws dissolved salts to the surface leading to deposition; this salinization increase, rather than infiltration because the driving mechanism is evaporation.

• Which mechanism during a large subduction zone earthquake causes rapid coastal land subsidence?
• Which surface deformation commonly results from seasonal solifluction in subarctic tundra caused by melting permafrost?
