Which stone surface characteristic indicates prolonged abrasion on ventifacts?

💡 Explanation

The creation of ventifacts requires abrasive contact with windblown matter which results in polished surfaces and windward facets; aeolian abrasion is the main mechanism. These features appear because ongoing impact shapes the stone, rather than pitting due to water or biological colonization.
