← GeographyWhich mechanism primarily sculpts desert ventifacts after initial fracturing?
A)Aeolian abrasion concentrates erosion✓
B)Frost weathering expands cracks
C)Haloclasty creates solution cavities
D)Block disintegration shatters surfaces
💡 Explanation
Aeolian abrasion shapes ventifacts because wind-driven sand impact causes focused erosion, therefore sharpening faceted forms, rather than frost weathering, haloclasty dissolving rock, or block disintegration which are less effective after initial fracture.
