What is meant by the rivers load?
the amount of sediment a river is carrying during flow
How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
Since humans have been present what is the amount of sediment carried by rivers?
Stayed about the same.
Where do streams and rivers deposit sediment?
In areas where their speed and ability to transport material is reduced. The final destination for most sediments is a basin, lake, or ocean.
