Suspension
Very fine particles such as dust are picked up and transported by the wind in suspension.

Saltation
The wind rolls medium sized particles along the ground and when these particles collide with each other, they bounce off into the air.

The wind pushes and rolls the heavier materials over short distances along the ground and are never air borne.
