Large boulders and smaller rocks can be carried by a river. When rocks and sediment are displaced, it's called erosion.
Clay particles are very fine grained and light weight, so easily carried along by flowing water.
New Zealand is the place that has huge round boulders along the beach. These boulders are called the Moeraki Boulders.
Glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders. The erosion caused by glaciers is caused by the rocks and debris carried along with the ice, NOT the ice itself.
Moraine is the word for rocks and boulders carried along by a glacier and then left behind.
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.

A bed load is a collection of large particles of sediment which are carried along the bottom of a stream.
Rip rap is a pile of large boulders or rocks -- usually placed along a shoreline to help prevent erosing from waves. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+rip+rap
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.
