Moving water in a river can pick up sediment and carry it along in a what kind of load?
bed load, a large 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 a solution load?
A solution load is the matter transported by a river or stream. A solution load is dissolved in water. Hope this helps. x
What kind of load do muddy rivers carry?
A suspended load.
What is the maximum load a river can carry?
more then 1 grams
What affects the amount of sediments a river can carry?
1. The quantity of water in the river. 2. The size of the river basin. 3. The course of the river 4. The shape of the river reliefs.
Does the smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry?
True or false?
Why does a river deposits its load?
the 3 ways are:1) solution2)suspension3)bed load
What is a river's load?
material that a river carries along E.g (stone, grass & rocks)
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.
How and why does the load transported by river vary?
The load in a river can be transported in 4 ways. The first is Traction. It is when rocks and boulders are rolled along the river bed by the force of the water. The second is Saltation this is when stones and pebbles are bounced along the river bed. The third is Suspension this is when fine particles like silt floot along in the water. The last is Solution which is when the material dissolves in the water. These different methods are used depending on the size of the load to be transported and the energy of the river. A river needs little energy to transport a small mineral by solution but lots of energy to transport heavy boulders it by traction.
