← GeographyWhich pattern arises in desert ventifact creation during differential atmospheric abrasion?
A)Undercutting promotes pedestal rock formation✓
B)Chattering marks on glacial valley floors
C)Sunspots align during solar maximum events
D)Isostatic rebound after polar ice melt
💡 Explanation
Undercutting leads to pedestal rock formation because Aeolian processes remove material near the base via abrasive particle Saltation. Therefore, ventifacts often show a distinct tapering; rather than glacial or solar processes causing differential erosion.
