Which consequence directly results from ablation zones encountering increased rotational speed?

💡 Explanation

Increased speed causes greater deflection in the wind due to the Coriolis effect; therefore, strong katabatic winds, flowing from ice sheets because of their higher density cold air, veer more poleward rather than taking a direct path.
