← GeographyWhich outcome is caused by increasing orographic lifting?
A)Enhanced localized precipitation patterns✓
B)Accelerated chemical weathering rates
C)Diminished coastal erosion severity
D)Reduced potential for glacial formation
💡 Explanation
Enhanced precipitation is caused by orographic lifting because the air mass rises and cools, increasing relative humidity and resulting in intense condensation; therefore, this favors precipitation rather than the rate of weathering or glacial formation.
