Which outcome occurs when water undergoes evaporative enrichment within a carbonatic cave system?

💡 Explanation

Evaporative enrichment increases the saturation index, driving calcium carbonate precipitation via supersaturation. This leads to a faster rate of stalactite and stalagmite formation because the solution becomes heavily saturated; therefore increasing speleothem growth, rather than other dissolution effects.
