Jump

A "jump" is the term coined by SG-1 for the transfer of an active wormhole from one Stargate to another. The phenomenan was first observed as a result of Goa'uld weapons fire striking an outgoing gate on P4A-771 while SG-1 attempted to escape back to Earth; the energy caused the wormhole to jump from the alpha stargate in the SGC to the beta gate, then located inside a glacier in Antarctica. Samantha Carter compared this to a lightning bolt jumping from point to point in mid-strike. The SGC later recreated the effect using a shaped charge after inadvertently dialing out to a planet near the event horizon of a black hole.

It is also possible to jump a wormhole from a Stargate to a Supergate, though the energy required is substantially greater.
