A stream carries its load by suspension, solution and floatation. When small particles are picked up by the water and carried, it is being suspended. When an object is less dense than the water, it will be floating. When a material dissolves in the water, it is a solution.

How do stream transport sediments?
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).
What is a streams bed load?
Sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel.
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river called?
sediment load
Do the levels and the sediment load increase or decrease as the river ages?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
Materials carried in a streams water?
its junk? bed load, which sometimes includes junk
What are three way streams transport sediments?
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)

What is a streams bed load?
Sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel.
How do streams carry their load?
Stream erode their channels by abrasion, grinding, and by dissolving soluble material. Stream transport sediment in three ways.1. in solution (dissolved load)2. in suspension (suspended load)3. scooting or rolling along the bottom (bed load)Hope that helps.

How would size of the sediment in the streams load differ in the streams volume increasing or decreasing?
The size of the sediment would decrease further downstream (where there is a greater volume of water) as there is more energy in the flow. Therefore more erosion will occur and the sediment will rub together with other materials i.e other rocks or the river bed (this is called attrition). The sediment will therefore reduce in size but there will be a greater amount of it. (The amount of sediment is called the discharge.)
What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
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.
Can the smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
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.
