What affects friction in a river?
the gradient of the slope The channel roughness The amount and size of bed load
What affects bed load?
The velocity and discharge volume of the stream or river.
What affects the amount of sediments a river can carry?
The amount of sediments a river can carry is influenced by factors such as the river's velocity, volume of water, slope of the river bed, sediment particle size, and the presence of vegetation or structures that can trap sediments. Increased velocity and water volume typically result in higher sediment transport capacity.
Why does bed load decrease in size?
The bedload becomes smaller when the river is flowing downstream, and the rocks also become smaller, smoother and rounder due to attrition and abrasion. (The reason the flow slows down is because the energy of the flow decreases.)
Particles that roll and slide along the stream bed make up the of the stream?
Bed Load
Is oversized an adjective?
Yes, it is. It means of larger than nominal size (oversized load, oversized bed).
What is the difference between a stream's load and it's bed load?
The suspended load moves with the water, the bed load only moves when the river is in spate.
The stream load that includes gravel and large rocks is the?
bed load. This type of stream load consists of heavier materials that are transported along the stream bed through rolling, sliding, or bouncing. It tends to move more slowly than suspended load or dissolved load.
What is the difference between a bed load and a dissolve load?

Is a king size bed bigger than a queen size bed?
YES, a king-size bed is larger than a queen-size bed.
When stream flow decreases to below the critical settling velocit of a certain size particle occurs?
When stream flow decreases below the critical settling velocity of a certain size particle, the particle will settle out of the water column and deposit on the bed of the channel or river. This process is known as sediment deposition and can contribute to changes in channel morphology and habitat.
