← GeographyWhich outcome is observed due to aeolian Abrasion?
A)Formation of sculpted desert ventifacts✓
B)Increased rate of soil creep
C)Deposition of unsorted glacial till
D)Dissolution of karst topography
💡 Explanation
Sculpted ventifacts form because wind-borne sediment impacting exposed rock causes aeolian Abrasion, carving distinct shapes. Wind abrasion physically weathers rocks, therefore sculpting them, rather than causing soil creep, glacial deposition, or bedrock dissolution.
