Question
question: which of the following is/are involved in saltation? answer options: select one of four sand silt clay peat
Saltation is a process of sediment transport in which particles are lifted and bounce along the surface. Sand - sized particles are commonly involved in saltation as they can be easily lifted by wind or water currents and then fall back to the surface in a series of short jumps. Silt and clay particles are too small and tend to be suspended in the air or water, while pebbles are too large and heavy for saltation to be the main mode of transport.
