Question

hoodoos are another example of the way that weathering and erosion can form landforms. what is the main agent in shaping hoodoos

Answer 1

The main agent in shaping hoodoos is water, primarily through the processes of weathering and erosion. Specifically, the combination of physical weathering, including freeze-thaw cycles, and chemical weathering from acidic rainwater contributes to the erosion of the rock layers. This results in the distinctive pillar-like formations known as hoodoos. Wind erosion also plays a role in shaping and smoothing the hoodoos over time.
