How does the transport of sediment by winds (Figure 16.22) compare to transport in streams?

Figure 16.22 Wind action and desert sediment. Winds move sediment by a combination of suspension (fine particles), saltation (sand grains), and creep (larger particles). The wind action results in the formation of ripples in sand and may produce a desert pavement where sand is removed but pebbles are left behind.
