Which material loss occurs when dust abrasion forms ventifacts?

💡 Explanation

Ventifacts form via dust abrasion causing deflation. Preferential etching dominates, because weaker minerals erode at higher rates due to lower hardness, then resulting in distinct shapes, rather than uniform weathering via oxidation processes.
