Which aerodynamic effect results in decreased lift during icing conditions?

💡 Explanation

Icing on an aircraft wing disrupts smooth airflow which causes premature boundary layer separation; because of this separation, airflow detaches from the wing surface, therefore lift dramatically decreases rather than is enhanced or pressure rises.
