Which landform primarily results when desert deflation encounters differential surface resistances?

💡 Explanation

Yardangs primarily form because deflation selectively erodes weaker materials, rather than uniformly depositing loess. Differential erosion creates wind-sculpted ridges; therefore, ventifacts or yardangs arise from concentrated abrasion, not loess formation.
