    C bed-load movement Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both (A) and (B) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In wind erosion, the initiation of soil movement typically takes place under the processes of saltation and surface creep. Saltation involves the bouncing or jumping of sand-sized particles along the ground due to the force of the wind, while surface creep involves the rolling or sliding of smaller particles on the surface of the soil.
