True or false?
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.

The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
Fast-moving water actually lifts sand and other, smaller sediment and carries it downstream. Water dissolves some sediment completely. Most large sediment falls to the bottom and moves by rolling and sliding.
