Question

Explain the saltation phase of wind erosion.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Saltation: As the wind speeds pick up, the surface particles start leaping off the surface into the air, this process is saltation. Suspension: After the saltation begins, the particles hit the surface and knock loose other particles, knocking them into the air. These include smaller sand particles and clays.
