What carries more sediments a fast moving or a slow moving water?
Fast moving water.
What material would most easily be carried in suspension by a slow moving stream?
Slow moving water will carry materials like sediments off of the rocks on the river bank. Slow moving water might also carry boats for example much more easily that fast moving water.
Does fast moving water carry less sediment than slow-moving water?
No. All other things being equal, fast water carries more sediment.
Which carries more sediment a fast moving river or a slow moving river?
Fast moving. sediment is heavy it settle out in slow water. But a river that just became slow after being fast looks like it has the most, because of all the settling going on.
What material is carried by slow moving water?
Small particles of dirt, sand, or silt, which can be dissolved or swept along in the water.
What is the process in which fast water carries large particles and slow water carries small particles?
erosion
Which erodes faster fast or slow moving water in a river?
Fast moving water will erode faster because it is more powerful than slow moving water.
Why does cool water move slow?
Cool water moves slow because the molecules are moving slow. In hot water, molecules are moving fast, thus, hot water seems to move faster than cold water at times.
Does fast moving water carry more or less sediment?
Fast-moving water can carry more sediment than slow-moving water.
How can you tell that the particles in a cup of water are moving slower or faster?
hot water has fast moving particles, and cold water has slow moving particles
Does slow moving water cause erosion or fast moving water?
yes and no well it cant cause fast water and it will weather slower then as if water would at a fast current so it will weather just slow.
Slow moving water part of a river or lake?
Swamp.
