← GeographyWhich process explains periodic increases across saline lake stratification?
A)Meromictic layer overturn event✓
B)Progressive thermohaline convection
C)Epilimnion aeration from turbulence
D)Hypolimnion density stabilization offset
💡 Explanation
Increased salt concentration destabilizes stratification through meromictic layer overturn, because accumulated denser water suddenly mixes upward, therefore resulting in oxygen injection into lower layers, rather than a result of gradual convection changes alone.
