There are four processes of transportation: 1. Traction 2. Saltation 3. Suspension 4. Solution 1 of 5 Traction Traction is the first process of transportation. This is when large particles like boulders are pushed along the river bed by the force of the water. 2 of 5 Saltation Saltation is the second process of transportation. In saltation, pebble-sized particles are bounced along the river bed by the force of the water. 3 of 5 Suspension Suspension is the third process of transportation. This is where small particles like silt and clay are carried along by the water. 4 of 5 Solution Solution is the fourth and final process of transporation. This is where soluble materials dissolve in the water and are carried along. 5 of 5
