Stream transport sediment in three ways, dissolved load, (ions in solution being carried downstream), suspended load, (suspended sediment that floats freely downstream) and bed load, (sediment that rolls or scoots along the bottom of the river).

Which factor can transport sediments?
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location?
Decrease in stream velocity
When a stream deposits sediment what can happen to the land?
River sediments are deposited where gravity and friction acting on the sediments overcomes the force of the moving water. Often, this is on the inner bend of a meandering river, where water speed is the slowest, or at the mouth of the river where it enters a larger body of water.
The ability of a stream to erode and transport material depends largely on what?
velocity
What affects stream erosion?
There are three factors that affect stream erosion. These are water velocity, shape, size and depth of channel, and stream capacity to transport eroded materials.
Which sediments would a stream carry at 5 cm?
In a stream, heavy sediments settle quickly and finer sediments stay suspended in the water and get carried down stream farther, even as the stream shrinks in size.
Why do the sediments get deposited when a river runs into a lake or sea?
Generally the speed of the transported load slows down considerably with the change in the transport medium from stream to lake or sea. As the energy of the motion is reduced, gravity claims the sediments.
How can a stream cause erosion?
Little sediments are carried by the eroding stream
How do moving sediments affects the channel of a stream?
The sediments build up on the floor of the stream, ocean, river, or lake and causes the water to lower.
Which factor can transport sediments?
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
When was MPEG transport stream created?
MPEG transport stream was created in 1995.
If a stream has a brownish muddy appearance the sediments that color the stream make up?
Suspended load
Which transport media generally results in the most well-sorted sediments?
The transport media that generally results in the most well-sorted sediments is wind. Other transport media include rivers, glaciers and landslides.
What transports sediments?
water, wind, ice, etc. do transport sediment. lava does not transport sediment
Which change at a particular location in a stream usually causes more sediments to be deposited at a location?
Decrease in stream velocity
Where does a River erode sediment?
sediments are transported by ocean rift, streams, river currents, wind (air). they are deposited according to size. The largest sediments are deposited first. The sediments settle into the sand and are carried by the stream. Near the mouth of the stream where the water moves slowly the small sediments settle out. The larger sediments get carried by the river into the sea then the samller sediments. The sea water dissolved minerals and soak the sediments and cement together. This eventually forms sediments.
What is the full form of TS?
