Which outcome accelerates ventifact formation on exposed bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Katabatic winds enhance ventifact formation because abrasion relies on prolonged exposure to wind-driven particle erosion, therefore sculpting bedrock rather than freeze-thaw weathering which decomposes rock through physical expansion.
