Answer

Wind can possibly erode the rocks from all sides, because.
  1. when a rock’s bottom is soft, the constant wearing down action of the wind, the bottom gets eroded away to form a mushroom like structure.
  2. Certain hard rocks like igneous rocks are more resistant to wind action. Isolated residual hills are formed from their surroundings.
  3. When winds blow over the hard and soft layers of rocks the soft layers get eroded leaving irregular crests.
