Which outcome occurs when strong katabatic winds accelerate ventifact weathering?

💡 Explanation

Katabatic winds accelerate deflation by Sand Abrasion, because the forceful wind carries particles that erode exposed rock surfaces, therefore development of desert pavement occurs where ventifacts become exposed rather than climate or ocean changes.
