• DuneRelated: Wind-driven hops dislodge other grains and help dunes grow.

• Wind erosionRelated: Hopping grains strike the ground and help launch other particles.

• Abrasion (geology)Related: Hopping grains repeatedly impact exposed rock and can abrade it.

• Sand duneRelated: Bouncing grains strike the surface and set other grains moving across a dune.

• BarchanRelated: Hopping grains strike the dune and help move sand toward its crest.

• Bed loadRelated: Many bed-load grains move through brief hops between bed contacts.

• MacropodiformesRelated: Many macropodiforms use saltation to travel efficiently across open ground.

• Råbjerg MileRelated: Hopping sand grains help carry material up the dune's windward slope.

• ScleromochlusRelated: Some interpretations of its body proportions suggest hopping rather than ordinary running.
