A stream can bounce large pebbles and boulders, along the stream bed. These rocks are called bed load. A stream can carry sand in suspension. These materials, called suspended load, make the river look muddy. The dissolved load is material carried in a solution, which means that the material is dissolved in the water. Sodium and calcium are some of the materials in the dissolved load.

**************************************
In Geology, sand, pebbles and rocks are carried in streams and rivers. Heavy rocks are deposited first (may only roll several feet during a flood). Pebbles may travel further and were once rocks, become smaller and rounded in their journey downstream. Finally, sand (lightest being fine silt and mud that line the tidal stretches of the river and form mud-flats inshore).

How are particles of sand and pebbles that are less dense than water carried by a stream?
Particles of sand and pebbles that are less dense than water are carried by a stream through a process called suspension. The flow of the water exerts enough force to keep these lighter particles suspended in the water and move them downstream. The particles are lifted off the streambed and transported until the flow of the water slows down or they encounter an obstacle that causes them to settle.
A blood clot that is carried through the blood stream is termed a?
embolus.
What substance is most likely to be carried by stream in solution?
calcite
What is a rock that contains a fossil called?
Fossils are rarely found inside individual rocks, but if they are, it will be inside boulders that were originally part of a layer of mudstone or sandstone (sedimentary rock). Scientists refer to this type of rock as "Fossil bearing" Joan Wiffen of New Zealand was a Paleontologist who discovered individual dinosaur bones inside massive mudstone boulders in a stream.
What is a stream of charged protons and electrons called?
A stream of charged particles is called an electrical current.
What pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
load or stream load.
What is a noisy little stream called?
A noisy little stream is called a babbling brook. As the water flows over the pebbles in the stream it creates the noise.
What are pebbles bumping against each other in a stream called?
winf
When a stream bed is full of boulders water moves in every direction in a type of movement called?
It is called turbulence.

Why do boulders become smaller as they are moved down a stream bed?
sediment
Which event is the best example of erosion?
the deepening of a stream bed by pebbles rolling along the bottom of the stream
Particles carried by a stream or river?
A load is the term for particles carried by a stream or river.
What are bed loads in a stream?
the sand, gravel, boulders, or other debris transported by rolling or sliding along the bot-tom of a stream.
How can a stream cause erosion?
Little sediments are carried by the eroding stream
Warm ocean water is carried throughout the northern Atlantic Ocean through currents called the?
Gulf Stream
