Which outcome is accelerated when persistent katabatic winds erode exposed bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Increased katabatic wind action enhances ventifact formation via aeolian abrasion because it provides a continuous supply of abrasive particles to sculpt the bedrock surfaces; therefore ventifacts increase, rather than soil formation, which occurs via different mechanisms.

• Which mechanism causes formation of ventifacts in deserts?
• Which outcome changes the texture of topsoil when earthworms accelerate decomposition?
• Which pedogenesis process decreases topsoil fertility with intense rainfall?
• Which outcome is amplified in glacial meltwater streams because of albedo?
• Which soil characteristic results when excessive hydrolysis occurs during pedogenesis?
• Which mechanism causes the deflection of geostrophic streams, creating meandering patterns?
