Which long ridge is formed by wind erosion of hard and soft rocks?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yardang
A yardang is a streamlined, long, narrow ridge carved in arid regions by the differential erosion of wind-blown sand. Softer layers are removed more rapidly, while harder material remains as an elongated ridge usually aligned with prevailing winds. Option A is correct. A zeugen is more table-like, a mushroom rock has a narrow base, and a ventifact is a single wind-shaped stone.
