Question
question: which of the following is/are involved in saltation? answer options: select one of four sand silt clay pebbles
Saltation is a type of sediment transport where particles (like sand) are lifted briefly and then fall back, moving in a series of jumps. Sand particles are of a size (medium - sized sediment) that is commonly involved in saltation. Silt is finer and more likely to be transported by suspension, clay is very fine and also transported by suspension, and pebbles are too large and are transported by traction (rolling/sliding) rather than saltation.
