Which outcome occurs when prolonged unidirectional wind ablation concentrates against desert bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Erosion from wind-driven particles causes preferential abrasion called Aeolian abrasion through processes of *sand blasting* creating facets. This forms ventifacts because the sustained force reshapes the stone, therefore creating identifiable flat polished shapes rather than other sedimentary features.
