← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when arid winds sculpt ventifacts?
A)Abrasion-driven feature development✓
B)Glacial-striation-pattern imprinting
C)Salt crystal lattice propagation
D)Chemical weathering rate acceleration
💡 Explanation
Wind abrasion polishes and shapes exposed rock surfaces into ventifacts because particles carried by the wind bombard the rock, causing abrasion-driven feature development; therefore, sculpted features arise, rather than glacial marks or chemical effects.
