Which physical feature results via aeolian 'sandblasting' against bedrock?

💡 Explanation

Ventifacts arise because abrasion of bedrock by wind-driven particles causes facets and grooves. This process shapes specific rock features on the landscape. Therefore ventifacts are created, rather than broader desert pavement expansion affecting soils.
