What is the difference between a stream's suspended load and it's bed load?
The suspended load moves with the water, the bed load only moves when the river is in spate.

What is a Bed load?
A bed load is a collection of large particles of sediment which are carried along the bottom of a stream.
Why is bed load only found in mountain streams with high gradient?

What are three way streams transport sediments?
Streams transport sediment in three ways. 1. in solution (dissolved load) 2. in suspension (suspended load) 3. scooting or rolling along the bottom (bed load)
What is the difference between a streams suspended load and its bed load?
The difference between a suspended load and a bead load is a suspended load consists of the small particles or rock materials that are dispersed throughout the water and easily carried downstream. The bead load consists of the larger particles that are dragged and bounced along near the bottom of the river.
