Saltation refers to the process where particles (such as sand grains) are transported by fluids (like water or air) by being lifted into the flow and then settling back to the surface, effectively "jumping" or bouncing along. This is a common process in both aeolian (wind-driven) and fluvial (water-driven) environments.
