← GeographyWhich weather outcome is intensified by topographic 'channeling effect'?
A)Katabatic wind acceleration✓
B)Stratospheric ozone depletion
C)Surface air temperature inversion
D)Mesocyclone formation probability
💡 Explanation
Katabatic wind acceleration increases due to channeled airflow; because terrain constricts and focuses air, therefore intensifying its speed via a venturi effect, rather than causing stratospheric ozone depletion, temperature inversion or mesocyclones which require other unique conditions.
