Final answer:

Wind erosion involves suspension, saltation, and surface creep as different processes of sediment movement.


Explanation:

In the context of wind erosion, the movement of sediment particles can occur through various processes such as suspension, saltation, and surface creep. Suspension involves fine particles being carried into the atmosphere by strong winds, while saltation is characterized by bouncing soil particles near the surface. Surface creep, on the other hand, refers to the rolling of large soil particles along the surface.
