← GeographyWhich weathering outcome results from consistent unidirectional wind abrasion?
A)Formation of ventifacts on exposed rocks✓
B)Increased chemical weathering of feldspars
C)Deposition of loess in sheltered areas
D)Development of arid pavement (regolith)
💡 Explanation
Ventifacts form because rocks undergo significant abrasion via aeolian erosion resulting from unidirectional wind patterns; therefore, ventifact creation is the primary result, rather than chemical weathering or sediment deposition, which are different types of geomorphic processes.
