Question

    In the context of wind erosion, which phase involves particles bouncing along the ground surface?

    A Suspension Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Surface creep Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Abrasion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Saltation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Deposition Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: Saltation refers to the initial stage of movement in wind erosion, where particles bounce or jump along the ground surface. This phase involves particles of certain sizes being rolled and leaping almost vertically.
