Why is stream velocity important to the carrying power of a stream?
As a particle size gets larger in a stream, the force needed to move the particle in the suspended water column is greater. The velocity dictates which size particles are able to be picked up from the bed and carried as stream load. Some particles, such as fine silts, require very little velocity and can be dissolved on their own without moving water. Larger, coarse rock particles may require extremely high velocities which may only be reached during storm events, depending on the stream of course.
What is a material on the bottom of a stream?
Silt is one type of material found on the bottom of a stream. Silt is fine and can be carried along in moving water, but is heavyier than water, so settles out of the water as it slows. It can be organic or mineral.
