Which outcome occurs when persistent katabatic winds encounter an orographic barrier?

💡 Explanation

Loess forms as windblown silt accumulates; because katabatic winds funnel across valleys, then undergo orographic lifting, wind velocity drops, resulting in widespread aeolian deposition, therefore, forming loess blankets, rather than erosion or altering other geological deposits.
