UPSC CDS-2 – 2016
– Zeugen are mushroom-shaped rock formations resulting from differential wind erosion (abrasion).
– Dreikanter are ventifacts, rocks shaped and polished by wind abrasion, typically with three facets.
– Demoiselles (also called earth pillars or hoodoos) are rock pillars with a caprock, primarily formed by differential erosion by water (rain), though wind can play a secondary role. However, wind gap is distinctly not a wind erosion landform.
