Question
what type of particles can wind erosion transport the farthest distance?
sand
clay and rock fragments
gravel
silt
Brief Explanations
Lighter and smaller particles are carried farther by wind erosion. Clay particles are very small and light compared to sand, gravel, and rock - fragments. Silt particles are also relatively small but clay is the smallest among the options. Smaller and lighter clay particles can be suspended in the air and transported over long distances by wind.
