Which abrasion effect increases when persistent winds encounter desert bedrock?

A)Ventifact formation
B)Longshore drift acceleration
C)Regolith chemical stabilization
D)Soil horizon amalgamation

💡 Explanation

Ventifact formation occurs because aeolian abrasion erodes softer rock sections via saltation of sand grains, leading to distinct facets; therefore, ventifacts result rather than other sedimentary features because prevailing wind direction concentrates erosive action.
