Which surface outcome of ventifact formation indicates wind direction?

💡 Explanation

Abrasional flutes on ventifacts align parallel to wind direction, acting as indicators because sandblasting is directional, therefore alignment indicates incoming winds, rather than loess accumulation which shows deposition regardless of angle.
