What transport processes would likely dominate a muddy stream A solution B traction C saltation D suspension E abrasion?

In a muddy stream, suspension and saltation would likely dominate as transport processes. Suspension refers to particles being carried in the water column, while saltation involves particles bouncing or skipping along the stream bed. The other processes may also occur to some extent but suspension and saltation are typically most prominent in muddy streams.


What is it called when wind transports materials by causing a bouncing motion of particles?

Abrasion


What is saltation?

Saltation is a geological process where sediments are transported by the wind or water in a series of short hops or bounces. It typically occurs in areas with strong winds or fast-flowing water that can pick up and carry particles, depositing them elsewhere as the energy of the wind or water decreases. Saltation plays a role in shaping landscapes by moving sediment and eroding surfaces.


What is the movement of large soil particles along the grounds surface after being loosened by the effects of saltation?

Smelly


What is the process in which pieces of sediment bounce and skip?

The process in which pieces of sediment bounce and skip along a riverbed or beach is called saltation. It occurs when the force of the flowing water or wind is strong enough to lift and transport these particles for short distances before they settle again. Saltation plays a key role in the erosion and transport of sediment in various environments.
