← GeographyWhich landscape outcome occurs with prolonged katabatic wind erosion?
A)Formation of distinctive ventifact shapes✓
B)Increased chemical weathering due to hydration
C)Deposition of loess-rich sediment layers
D)Development of braided stream networks
💡 Explanation
Distinctive ventifacts form because prolonged unidirectional 'abrasion' via katabatic winds erodes exposed rock surfaces; therefore wind sculpted rocks occur, rather than other weathering or deposition processes that dominate dissimilar moisture or sediment conditions.
