What is the most likely material to be transported as suspended load?
clay.
What is the materials carried by a river known as?
load
How do terrigenous sediments move from their source to the deep sea?
Due to long shore currents the suspended particles transported as a suspended load to the deep sea.
What is the small material carried within a river?
It is called suspension.
What kind of load do muddy rivers carry?
A suspended load.
What is the total load of a stream?
Geologists commonly us the term STREAM for any body of water that flows in a channel.TOTAL LOADRivers move not only water but also a tremendous amount of material. This material, called the total load, consists of bed load, suspended load and dissolved load. Bed loadcomprises particles of sand and gravel that slide, roll, and bounce along the channel bottom in rapidly moving water. Suspended load comprises mainly silt and clay particles carried in suspension above the riverbed. Dissolved load comprises electrically charged atoms or molecules, called ions, that are carried in solution in the water
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 make up the suspended loads of most rivers and streams?
Clay, sand, silt.
What are the 3 factors that affect a river's sediment load?
Suspended load: All organic and inorganic material carried in moving water Dissolved load: All organic and inorganic material carried in solution by moving water Bed load: Coarse materials such as gravel, stones. These things move along the bottom of the river by rolling, or sliding.
Is a Bed load most responsible for stream erosion?
no, suspended load is responsible for the most stream erosion10. Question:Which load is responsible for the most stream erosion?Your Answer:Bed load CORRECT ANSWER Suspended load INCORRECT Dissolved load
What are the two types of load?
Two types of loads are a Bed Load and a Suspended Load. A Bed Load is a river that bounces large materials such as rock. Also, a Suspended Load is a river that carries small rocks and soil.
What is the difference between a river's 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.
