Saltation and creep are two processes of sediment transport in geomorphology. Saltation refers to the bouncing movement of particles, typically sand, that are lifted by wind or water and then fall back to the surface, repeatedly hopping along the ground. Creep, on the other hand, involves the gradual movement of larger particles that are pushed or rolled along the surface due to the impact of smaller particles or the force of gravity. Both processes contribute to the shaping of landscapes and the redistribution of sediments.

What are the three ways that wind erosion moves sediments?
Wind erosion moves sediments through saltation (small particles bouncing along the ground), suspension (fine particles carried in the air), and surface creep (larger particles rolling or sliding on the ground surface).
What is a name for Destruction by wind 2 words?
erosion, saltation...
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 do you call the movement of sand sized particles by skipping and bouncing?
saltation
What is wind saltation?
Wind saltation is the process by which small particles are lifted and carried by the wind in short, skipping hops along the ground. This movement can cause erosion and transport of particles over varying distances.
Is a creep?
Yes, creep is a noun, as in "he was a creep". It can also be a verb, as in "he crept along".
