Which property decreases on windward desert rock outcrops due to aeolian abrasion?

💡 Explanation

Angularity decreases because abrasive winds cause gradual rounding via the mechanism abrasion, therefore angular ventifact facets erode; polished aerodynamic smoothness increases rather than internal pressure or mineral saturation because those aren't altered by surface wind action.
