Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The movement of material (such as water, nutrients, and minerals) upward or downward in the soil is called translocation. This allows plants to absorb necessary nutrients and water from the soil. Emigration refers to the movement of individuals out of a population, mitigation refers to the reduction of negative impacts, and saltation refers to a type of wind erosion where sand-sized particles bounce along the ground.
