What are two types of wind erosion?
There are different types of wind erosion. The main types of wind erosion include surface erosion, saltation, soil creep and suspension.
What type of material is usually moved by saltation?
Sand
What makes abrasion different from erosion and sliding wear?
Deflation wind is when the wind blows across loose sediments and carries them away.

Particles of sand or dust rubbing across the surface of rocks is called abrasion.

Describe three different ways that wind shapes landscapes?
Wind can shape landscapes by (Saltation)- the skipping and bouncing movement of sand-sized particles in the direction that wind is blowing are blown away. (Deflation)- a form of wind erosion in which fine,dry soil particles. and (Abrasion)- the wearing away of rock particles... ( I don't really have the meaning for abrasion but I will check it ASAP ;) <---------- I hope I can help because it was a way better answer than before =)
Would saltation most likely be the biggest problem for a coastal town?
Yes, saltation could be a big problem for a coastal town.
What type of weathering is abrasion?
For a fact abrasion is weathering it is machanical weathering
What is saltation geography?
Saltation geography is a geomorphological process that involves the transportation of sediment particles by the wind in short, intermittent jumps. This process is common in arid and desert environments where wind is a major agent of erosion and sediment transport. Saltation can result in the formation of features such as sand dunes and desert pavements.
What is abrasion resistance?
abrasion resistance is the resistance in abrasion

ASAP
What type of material is usually moved by saltation?
Sand
Why is a rock's inside different from its outside?
The outside has been exposed to weathering and abrasion.
