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.

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.

What kind of load does a river carry in solution?
a dissolved load
Why does a river deposits its load?
the 3 ways are:1) solution2)suspension3)bed load
What is the maximum load a river can carry?
more then 1 grams
What affects the amount of sediments a river can carry?
1. The quantity of water in the river. 2. The size of the river basin. 3. The course of the river 4. The shape of the river reliefs.
Moving water in a river can pick up sediment and carry it along in a what kind of load?
bed load, a large load
Does the smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
True or false?
What is a river's load?
material that a river carries along E.g (stone, grass & rocks)
Why does load vary downstream?
This is the amount of load a river can carry. Generally, the load quantity will increase with discharge and velocity because rivers of higher discharge and velocity have more energy so will be able to carry more load. Therefore, load quantity increases downstream. Also, small particles require less energy to be carried so as the load size decreases, quantity increases
What would happen at the mouth of a river with a river's suspended load and bed load?
A river's suspended load and bed load may accumulate at the river's mouth and form a delta. It is a land form created by the deposition of sediments.
What is the best way to carry a load when driving on a ramp?
With a forklift, carry the load on the uphill side.
