← GeographyWhich outcome results when regional wind erosion concentrates abrasive particles?
A)Ventifact formation on exposed rock✓
B)Deposition of expansive loess sediment
C)Development of stable fossil dunes
D)Enhanced chemical weathering on surfaces
💡 Explanation
Ventifacts form because abrasion by wind-driven sand grains shapes rocks via aeolian erosion. This creates distinct facets and grooves rather than deposition, therefore the ventifact result prevails rather than other sedimentary structures or altered weathering.
