Which type of soil movement is being described?
The largest particles which are too heavy to be lifted into the air are rolled along the surface.
Creep
Saltation
Suspension
Which type of soil movement is being described?
Larger particles are pushed and bounced along the ground. This accounts for the most wind transport of sand.
Suspension
Creep
