The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry is false. When the river has more energy, it is able to carry a larger load, therefore more sediment.
Is this true or false When a river slows down and deposits its sediment load smaller particles of sediment are deposited first?
true
What is a glacier load?
My understanding is that every glacier has a certain amount of sediment scraped from the interface of the surrounding bed rock and the moving ice. The total amount of this sediment is the Glacial load. Some significant land features, such as Cape Cod in Massachusetts, are remnants of the load after the ice receded.
Abrasion and carrying load containing sediment and deposition are examples of?
none of the above
What is the total sediment load transported by a stream?
carrying power
What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
Can the smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry is false. When the river has more energy, it is able to carry a larger load, therefore more sediment.

What is the total quantity of sediment carried by a river called?
sediment load
What is the sediment a river carries called?
It's called transportation.
The amount of sediment that a river carries is its?
bedload
What has the author James Mirabal written?
James Mirabal has written: 'Suspended-sediment load of Texas streams' -- subject(s): Sediment load
Do the levels and the sediment load increase or decrease as the river ages?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
How do stream transport sediments?
Stream transport sediment in three ways, dissolved load, (ions in solution being carried downstream), suspended load, (suspended sediment that floats freely downstream) and bed load, (sediment that rolls or scoots along the bottom of the river).
Do the gradient levels and the sediment load increase or decrease the rivers age?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
