Geologists commonly us the term STREAM for any body of water that flows in a channel.
TOTAL LOAD
Rivers 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 else can I help you with?
What is the total sediment load transported by a stream?
The total sediment load transported by a stream is the sum of the bed load, suspended load, and dissolved load. Bed load consists of larger particles that roll, slide, and bounce along the streambed. Suspended load is finer particles carried in the water column, while dissolved load is material that is dissolved in the water itself.
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.
What is the dissolved load in a stream?
The dissolved load in a stream refers to the ions and minerals that are dissolved in the water. This load is carried along with the flow of the stream and can come from sources such as weathering of rock and human activities like agriculture and industry. It is an important component of the stream's total sediment load and can impact water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
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
Does bed load constitute the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream?
Bed load typically makes up a small percentage (10-20%) of the total sediment load moved by a stream annually. Most sediment is transported in suspension as suspended load or dissolved load in the water column. Bed load refers to larger particles like sand and gravel that are rolled or pushed along the stream bed by the flow of water.
Particles that roll and slide along the stream bed make up the of the stream?
Bed Load
What constitutes the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream?
Generally, the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream consists of suspended sediment. These are particles like silt and clay that are carried within the stream's water column. Bedload sediment, which is sediment that is moved along the stream bed through rolling or sliding, typically makes up a smaller percentage of the total annual sediment load.
What is a flow weighted average?
A flow weighted average is found by dividing the total load over the estimation time by the total stream flow.
The stream load that includes gravel and large rocks is the?
bed load. This type of stream load consists of heavier materials that are transported along the stream bed through rolling, sliding, or bouncing. It tends to move more slowly than suspended load or dissolved load.
What get carried away with sediment?
the stream load rock,soil,etc.the stream load rock,soil,etc.
What is the materials carried by a stream?
