← GeographyWhich weathering effect increases when differential erosion exposes resistant layers?
A)Ventifact formation intensifies significantly✓
B)Surface deflation rate decreases slowly
C)Dune migration patterns become erratic
D)Loess deposition areas become smaller
💡 Explanation
Ventifact formation intensifies considerably because differential erosion exposes varying rock hardness; therefore, abrasion by eolian processes accelerates, carving distinctive shapes, rather than uniform deflation because only certain layers are newly exposed.
