Saltation is the mode of sand transport in which sand grains bounce along the ground in a windstorm or stream. Ventifaction is the lifting and movement of small particles such as dust by the wind. Siltation refers to the accumulation of fine sediment in a body of water. Deflation refers to the removal of loose particles from the ground surface by wind erosion.
