Which surface feature results when aeolian abrasion creates ventifacts?

💡 Explanation

Rock abrasion by windblown particles creates ventifacts because impact angles enhance selective erosion, resulting in striations aligned to the average wind direction; therefore, windward face striations develop, rather than overhangs, layering, or grain sorting.
