Which pattern arises in desert ventifact creation during differential atmospheric abrasion?

💡 Explanation

Undercutting leads to pedestal rock formation because Aeolian processes remove material near the base via abrasive particle Saltation. Therefore, ventifacts often show a distinct tapering; rather than glacial or solar processes causing differential erosion.
