Streams transport sediment in three ways.
1. in solution (dissolved load)
2. in suspension (suspended load)
3. scooting or rolling along the bottom (bed load)

How does material deposited by glaciers differ from material deposited by streams?
To answer this, think about the way water moves and how ice moves. Now think of steady fast-moving streams of water and massive hulking glaciers scraping across the land. Streams push sediments along and sort them into normalized groups. Sand is separated from stones of different sizes. Glacier pick up rocks in their slow progress and deposit them later as the ice melts. The streams' depositions are very regular; the glaciers' depositions are very irregular.
Why does a jet stream curve and bend?
Think about it this way. If it was flat then jet streams would be straight. But the Earth is round so jet streams are curved because of the curvature of the Earth.
What is the best way to save energy at home and transport?
dance on your car!
Active transport counters the process of diffusion?
No; in a highly selective way it enhances it.
What is microbiological media?
Hi,Transport media is a safe and appropriate way of carrying the samples from distances(long or short).At times it fastens the growth of microorganisms that helps in perfect isolation.
When are sediments transported by a river deposited?
when rivers enter oceans or lakes, the water slows and sediment is deposited.
How do water erosion effect the earths surface?
Some streams or rivers can go really fast through plateaus and stuff, on the way they can wash the sediments and rocks that were there before. This causing erosion.

Three ways that substances can move into and out of a cell?
One way is diffusion, another is osmosis and Active transport.
Why are many towns and cities established near water?
Water is an easy way to transport of food, materials, etc. Rivers, lakes and streams are also sources of drinking water - and provide for agricultural needs.
How does a curve in a river affect the deposition of sediments?
I believe that the way it turns, it puts pressure on the rock and washes off pieces of sediments.
Who is hi way transport?
a transport company
What is a brief summary of the section charateristics of clastic sediment in the Earth space science book?
Is determined by the way the sediments were transported to the place where they are deposited. Sediments have four main transported agents: Wind, Water, Gravity, and Ice. Sediments particles size can be carried and the distance is determined by the speed of that particle. Both the the distance of the sediments and the sediments agents determines the characteristics of that sediment.
Which is a way thst groundwater depletion affects streams?
Water depletion would mean that streams would dry out, and rivers run low.
Is a tanker the safest way to transport crude oil?
Pipelines are the safest way to transport fuel, oil, etc.
What is the way of transportation of Romania?
Examples: highway, railway, air transport, naval transport.
What is the main way that active transport differs diffusion?
ATP is required for active transport.
