Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fine-grained sediment such as dust and silt are easily transported by wind in suspension, which is when the sediment is carried in the air without contacting the ground. Saltation is when larger particles are lifted and bounce along the ground, while deflation occurs when wind removes loose material from the ground. Surface creep is when sediment is moved along the ground by the wind.
