What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river called?
The total quantity of sediment carried by a river is called its sediment load. This includes both suspended sediment (particles floating in the water) and bedload (particles rolling or sliding along the riverbed).
What is sediment carried by the river that collect's at the rivers mouth called?
The sediment itself is called silt, and it often is deposited at the mouth of rivers and forms a landform called a river delta.
The amount of sediment that a river carries is its?
bedload
When water from a river carrias sediment or tiny pieces of sand it leaves some of the sediment along the banks of the river this is called what?
deposition
What we called fine sand soil or mud which is carried alnog by river?
Sediment is dirt, rocks, and sand carried by a river.
How do you find river bed-load?
To find river bedload, you can collect sediment samples from the river bed and analyze them in a laboratory. Another method is to use a sediment trap or gauge to measure the amount of sediment transported by the river over time. This can help determine the size and composition of the bedload in the river.
How would size of the sediment in the streams load differ in the streams volume increasing or decreasing?
The size of the sediment would decrease further downstream (where there is a greater volume of water) as there is more energy in the flow. Therefore more erosion will occur and the sediment will rub together with other materials i.e other rocks or the river bed (this is called attrition). The sediment will therefore reduce in size but there will be a greater amount of it. (The amount of sediment is called the discharge.)
What is meant by the rivers load?
the amount of sediment a river is carrying during flow
What is it called when sediment cannot be carried anymore?
By a river? Deposition.
