← GeographyWhich risk increases when strong katabatic winds impact ventifact formation?
A)Regional atmospheric dust veil formation✓
B)Amplified glacial ice ablation rates
C)Higher desert varnish production efficiency
D)Increased inselberg formation frequency
💡 Explanation
Regional dust veils increase because katabatic winds enhance Aeolian Abrasion through collisions of airborne particles against ventifacts. Therefore, atmospheric loading increases, rather than increasing glacial melt, inselberg formation, or the efficiency of desert varnish production.
