Fast moving water can carry more sediment. Firstly because the potential of erosion rises with flow speed; secondly because larger grains can be transported by faster water and thirdly because the volume flow per unit time increases with flow speed.
The actual amount / concentration of sediment transported by a stream is very dependent on the geology of the catchment, i.e. the amount of soft sediment available for erosion.
Usuming that the amount of water moving through either system is the same, Yes.
Yes. The faster the current, the more sediment it can carry. If a river slows down it will drop some of its sediment.
A faster-moving river will carry more soil.
Because it has less energy and can carry less sediments.
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry is false. When the river has more energy, it is able to carry a larger load, therefore more sediment.

Wind, water, and gravity, ice (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) -Wind- Picks up sediment and blows it to another place - Water, Carries sediment with... flowing water - Gravity- Making sediments fall down (I.e landslides) - Ice - Rocks with ice in them. (i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
Fast-moving water can carry more sediment than slow-moving water.
Rock sediment and sometimes trash
Some forces that cause erosion and carry sediment from one place to another are wind and water.
Air, ice, gravity, and water.
Wind, water, and ice.
Erosion carries away sediment.
