Which weathering pattern results when differential erosion increases?

💡 Explanation

Wind abrasion causes ventifact formation because prolonged unidirectional winds preferentially erode softer rock layers via deflation, therefore sculpted shapes emerge due to differential resistance of hard rock to abrasion, rather than chemical reactions which erode uniformly.
