Which risk increases when the orographic effect intensifies wind flow?

💡 Explanation

Increased orographic effect enhances wind speeds crossing mountains, increasing warm air; this drives enhanced surface ice melting through increased turbulent ablation, because the kinetic energy is higher; therefore, increased glacial melt occurs rather than chemical weathering or deep current deceleration.
