I would consider tiny pieces of rock carried by water to be sediment. Sediment is generally clay or sand particles, but any type of rock ground into fine particles can be carried by water. This may include igneous-type rocks (those that come from around volcanoes and the bottom of the ocean).

Scouring action of particles carried by wind?
The scouring action of particles carried by the wind is called wind erosion. Wind erosion, along with water erosion is the main cause of land degradation.
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.
How are sand and gravel particles moved along the ocean bottom?
Sand is gradually carried down the beach by Longshore Drift.
Rock are carried along inside an and drop off as it melts?
glacier
What is the word for this definition huge boulder carried by a glacier?
Moraine is the word for rocks and boulders carried along by a glacier and then left behind.
How do clay particles move along the river?
Clay particles are very fine grained and light weight, so easily carried along by flowing water.

The fine particles floating in the water as they are carried along by a stream or river constitute?
Suspended load
What is a Bed load?

What is suspension in geography?
Suspended particles mean a tiny particles in the solvent that does not settle under gravity and spread through out the solvent. They take lot of time to settle. If we use centrifugal machine we can create external force in addition to Gravitational force to bring down suspended particles in water.
When was Carried Along created?
Carried Along was created in 2000.
How are the ionic or dissolved sediments carried in a stream released?
Sediments are carried as the following loads: dissolved, suspended, and bed. A dissolved load is composed of ions in solution. These ions are usually carried in the water all the way to the ocean. ... Particles that are too large to be carried as suspended loads are bumped and pushed along the stream bed, called bed load.
A type of mixture with particles that are larger those in solutions but not heavy enough to settle out?
There are several types of mixtures. One with particles that are larger than a solute and solution is a colloid, where the particles remain in suspension.
