← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when wind abrasion sculpts desert bedrock?
A)Formation of ventifacts✓
B)Loessification of topsoil
C)Development of deposition cones
D)Gully erosion increases
💡 Explanation
Ventifacts form because wind abrasion primarily causes the progressive erosion of exposed rock surfaces; therefore ventifact creation dominates, rather than topsoil changes. Differential erosion creates the sculpted shapes, not deposition or fluvial downcutting.
