Which ventifact characteristic diminishes when persistent lee-side deposition occurs?

💡 Explanation

Reduced wind exposure on the lee side limits abrasion; therefore, aerodynamic sharpness decreases because the formation and maintenance of sharp edges require constant, unidirectional abrasion—rather than widespread material buildup, which would round edges.
