Saltation is a common term in the transport action of which agent?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Wind and running water
Saltation is a mode of sediment transport in which grains move through a series of short hops or leaps. Wind commonly carries sand in this way, and running water can also make suitable particles bounce along the bed when its energy is sufficient. It is not an action performed by coral, cave calcite, or a stationary snow peak. Therefore option B is correct, with wind being the classic example.
