← GeographyWhich mechanism causes ventifact formation enhancement from airborne particles?
A)Abrasion by aeolian sediment transport✓
B)Chemical weathering from salt deposition
C)Dissolution via acid rain erosion
D)Exfoliation from thermal stress cycles
💡 Explanation
Abrasion by aeolian sediment transport causes ventifacts because particles impacting the rock surface erode it; therefore, a polished surface develops, rather than chemical or thermal processes alone being responsible without wind-driven abrasive forces.
