_________describes the particle transport mode in streams intermediate between suspension and rolling along the bottom.
A)Siltation
B)Impact leaping
C)Saltation
D)Alluviation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saltation is the particle transport mode in which particles bounce or hop along the streambed, driven by the force of the flowing water. It is intermediate between suspension, where particles are carried along with the water, and rolling, where particles are too heavy to be lifted by the water and instead move along the bed through their own weight. Siltation refers to the deposition of fine sediment, and alluviation is the overall process of sediment deposition in a stream or river. Impact leaping is not a recognized term in fluvial geomorphology.
