Which outcome occurs when strong katabatic winds accelerate ventifact weathering?

A)Development of desert pavement expands
B)Ozone depletion reduces atmospheric temperatures
C)Glacial retreat accelerates erosion rates
D)Deep ocean currents experience increased salinity

💡 Explanation

Katabatic winds accelerate deflation by Sand Abrasion, because the forceful wind carries particles that erode exposed rock surfaces, therefore development of desert pavement occurs where ventifacts become exposed rather than climate or ocean changes.
