Stream load is when solid matter is carried by a stream. Stream capacity depends on the velocity, the amount of water flow and the grade.

What affects stream erosion?
There are three factors that affect stream erosion. These are water velocity, shape, size and depth of channel, and stream capacity to transport eroded materials.
What is the measure of th largest particles a stream can carry?
Compedence m'dear.
What is the process by which sediment moved by erosion is dropped and comes to rest?
Sedimentation is the deposit of materials carried by a flowing body, such as a stream.
What factor is most likely to affect the amount of erosion done by a stream?
The slope or gradient of the stream is the most likely factor to affect the amount of erosion. Steeper slopes result in higher velocities, which in turn increase the erosive power of the stream. A steeper slope also allows the stream to carry larger sediment and potentially cause more erosion.
What is meant by a 'high energy' depositional environment?
a high energy depositional environment is one in which enough energy was present to transport large materials such as rocks and boulders. a low energy depositional environment like a stream is only able to transport materials such as fine sands.
What is the measure of the largest particles of a stream can carry?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
What is the materials carried by a stream?
load
What materials will not carry or conduct electricity?
Insulator materials will not carry or conduct electricity.
What kind of water does the Gulf stream carry?
The Gulf Stream is classed as a warm water current.
What is a mixture of materials dissolved in stream water?
suspension
What is the largest size particle that a stream can carry?
Capacity
What stream characteristic is measured by the size of the largest particle that a stream can move?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
How are important materials returned to the blood stream?
through the kidneys
How does gravity relate to a stream and ability to erode and deposit materials?
You
What materials can carry sound?
Any/every material can carry sound.
What affects stream erosion?
There are three factors that affect stream erosion. These are water velocity, shape, size and depth of channel, and stream capacity to transport eroded materials.
How is gravity related to stream's ability to erode and deposit materials?
by wind
