Which outcome occurs when wind abrasion sculpts desert bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Ventifacts form because wind abrasion primarily causes the progressive erosion of exposed rock surfaces; therefore ventifact creation dominates, rather than topsoil changes. Differential erosion creates the sculpted shapes, not deposition or fluvial downcutting.
