What are the 3 different types of sediment loads that a stream can carry?
suspended load dissolved load bed load
How does a stream carry materials?
Stream load is when solid matter is carried by a stream. Stream capacity depends on the velocity, the amount of water flow and the grade.
When is the total load that a stream can carry greatest?
The total volume of flow in streams is termed discharge.
What pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
load or stream load.
If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity?
The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
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
How do streams carry their load?
Stream erode their channels by abrasion, grinding, and by dissolving soluble material. Stream transport sediment in three ways.1. in solution (dissolved load)2. in suspension (suspended load)3. scooting or rolling along the bottom (bed load)Hope that helps.

What get carried away with sediment?
the stream load rock,soil,etc.the stream load rock,soil,etc.
Particles that roll and slide along the stream bed make up the of the stream?
Bed Load
What is the materials carried by a stream?
load
What is the measure of the largest particles of a stream can carry?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
What do the solid particles of a stream include?
bed load and suspended load
