What are pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
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.
How can you separate fine mud particles suspended in water?
by the process of sedimentation it can be separated.

Why does load particles decrease downstream?
Fine silt and mud are carried further downstream than heavier rocks and gravel. Which often results in muddy banks at the river mouth.
Where are rivers commonly found?

What is the suspended load of a stream called?
'Suspension' or as you cited in your question 'suspended load'. Fine materials can be suspended in the water and are carried away in such a method. These particles are too light to sink to the bottom of the fast moving river. Suspension load forms the largest part of the river load. Materials that can be suspended include silt, mud and clay.
Where is sand and mud found?
Sand is almost all over the world, and can be found in many places including: on the shorelines of beaches, in rivers and creeks, deserts, eroded caves, and also valleys. Mud, on the other hand, can be ANYWHERE as long as there is wet ground and soil. The combination of water and soil is a viscous mixture called mud; once exposed to heat, mid will harden and eventually become dry,fine bits of soil again.
How did Mesopotamians make mudbricks?
The Mesopotamians usually depended on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to give them mud, the Mesopotamians gathered mud on the coast of the rivers and pounded them into a brick form, after that, they put them in the sun to dry and the next morning they get mud bricks. However, because there was no flood control near the rivers, floods kept taking away the chance for the Mesopotamians to gather mud, and make houses. Later on, they discovered how to control the rivers' flood frequencies.
