← GeographyWhich mechanism produces flattened facets on desert ventifacts?
A)Differential abrasion by windborne particles✓
B)Chemical weathering by salt deposition
C)Thermal fracturing from daily extremes
D)Cryogenic shattering within rock pores
💡 Explanation
Differential abrasion creates flattened facets because wind concentrates abrasive particles at specific angles, therefore shaping rocks selectively, rather than uniform weathering or temperature fracturing, which affects the entire rock surface.
