Examples of saltation
saltation
Evolution, revolution or saltation scenario for the emergence of modern cultures?
From the en.wikipedia.org
Saltation itself has never been fully understood.

One way that dunes can move is by saltation, where sand particles skip along the ground like a bouncing ball.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil to move from one place and deposition in another.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A recent study finds that the initial saltation of sand particles induces a static electric field by friction.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Particles are transported by saltation and suspension, causing soil erosion from one place and deposition in another.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Saltation is the process of wind blowing grains of sand across a landscape, sending them bouncing against the ground and each other.
From the upi.com
Goldschmidt was an influential geneticist who advocated evolution by saltation, and was sometimes mentioned in disagreement.
From the en.wikipedia.org
If the fragments become small enough the outer layer of the avalanche, called a saltation layer, takes on the characteristics of a fluid.
From the en.wikipedia.org
- (geology) the leaping movement of sand or soil particles as they are transported in a fluid medium over an uneven surface
- (genetics) a mutation that drastically changes the phenotype of an organism or species
- Leap: an abrupt transition; "a successful leap from college to the major leagues"
- Dancing: taking a series of rhythmical steps (and movements) in time to music
- Leap: a light, self-propelled movement upwards or forwards
- In biology, saltation (from Latin, saltus, "leap") is a sudden change from one generation to the next, that is large, or very large, in comparison with the usual variation of an organism. ...
- Terrestrial locomotion has evolved as animals adapted from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Locomotion on land raises different problems than that on water, with reduced friction being replaced by the effects of gravity.
- In geology, saltation (from Latin, saltus, "leap") is a specific type of particle transport by fluids such as wind, or the denser fluid water. It occurs when loose material is removed from a bed and carried by the fluid, before being transported back to the surface. ...
- (Saltatory) Jumping or leaping is a form of locomotion or movement in which an organism or non-living (e.g., robotic) mechanical system propels itself through the air along a ballistic trajectory. ...
