Which geographical feature results in deflation favoring ventifact formation?

A)Presence of strong prevailing winds
B)High concentration of clay minerals
C)Frequent flooding of alluvial plains
D)Dense vegetation preventing surface armoring

💡 Explanation

Abrasion resistance variability causes ventifact formation with strong winds; wind-driven sand erodes softer rock, forming sharp features because differential erosion occurs rather than uniform weathering, therefore promoting ventifact development in windy deserts.
