Which mechanism sculpts ventifacts when persistent winds occur?

💡 Explanation

Abrasion shapes ventifacts via sustained wind impacting rock surfaces because the carried sand grains act like a natural cutting tool; therefore, weathering occurs with continuous winds, rather than with chemical or glacial origin.
