11. Geoffroy endorsed a theory of epigenetic saltation . 12. Known as the saltation layer, it was primarily responsible for the destruction of buildings. 13. This difference is related to saltation . 14. Wind-blown sand moves up the gentle upwind side of the dune by saltation or creep. 15. The distance between their crests corresponds to the average length of jumps made by particles during saltation . 16. Polyploidy ( most common in plants but not unknown in animals ) is considered a type of saltation . 17. A study from 2008 finds that the initial saltation of sand particles induces a static electric field by friction. 18. An alternative to a gait that alternates between legs is hopping or saltation , where all legs move together. 19. From 1860 to 1880 saltation had a minority interest but by 1890 had become a major interest to scientists. 20. Saltation is the movement of grains being picked up by the wind and dropped in a cycling repetitive motion.
