The load in a river can be transported in 4 ways. The first is Traction. It is when rocks and boulders are rolled along the river bed by the force of the water. The second is Saltation this is when stones and pebbles are bounced along the river bed. The third is Suspension this is when fine particles like silt floot along in the water. The last is Solution which is when the material dissolves in the water. These different methods are used depending on the size of the load to be transported and the energy of the river. A river needs little energy to transport a small mineral by solution but lots of energy to transport heavy boulders it by traction.
