Which outcome occurs when prolonged unidirectional wind ablation concentrates against desert bedrock?

A)Development of ventifacts with polished surfaces
B)Formation of extensive laterite soil horizons
C)Deposition of thick gypsum evaporite layers
D)Stratification in alluvial conglomerate formations

💡 Explanation

Erosion from wind-driven particles causes preferential abrasion called Aeolian abrasion through processes of *sand blasting* creating facets. This forms ventifacts because the sustained force reshapes the stone, therefore creating identifiable flat polished shapes rather than other sedimentary features.
