Zeugen is a landform formed by wind erosion.

Wind erosion, also known as aeolian processes, can create distinctive landforms, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.

A Cirque is a bowl-shaped depression carved by a glacier at the head of a valley. A Stack is a vertical column of rock on a coastline, formed by wave erosion wearing away surrounding rock. A Zeugen is a type of yardang, an elongated streamlined hill carved by wind erosion in arid regions, often resembling a mushroom shape where differential erosion occurs on layers of varying hardness. Therefore, only Zeugen among the given options is primarily a result of wind erosion.
