load or stream load.
What else can I help you with?
What are pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
A stream can bounce large pebbles and boulders, along the stream bed. These rocks are called bed load. A stream can carry sand in suspension. These materials, called suspended load, make the river look muddy. The dissolved load is material carried in a solution, which means that the material is dissolved in the water. Sodium and calcium are some of the materials in the dissolved load.
What is a noisy little stream called?
A noisy little stream is called a babbling brook. As the water flows over the pebbles in the stream it creates the noise.
What are pebbles bumping against each other in a stream called?
Pebbles bumping against each other in a stream are called "abrasion." This process occurs as the flowing water causes the pebbles to collide and rub against each other, eventually wearing them down over time.
When a stream bed is full of boulders water moves in every direction in a type of movement called?
It is called turbulence.
How are particles of sand and pebbles that are less dense than water carried by a stream?
Particles of sand and pebbles that are less dense than water are carried by a stream through a process called suspension. The flow of the water exerts enough force to keep these lighter particles suspended in the water and move them downstream. The particles are lifted off the streambed and transported until the flow of the water slows down or they encounter an obstacle that causes them to settle.
What is a streams bed load?
Sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel.
What stream velocity would be required to carry the smallest boulders?
The stream velocity required to carry the smallest boulders is typically around 1 meter per second. This velocity is based on the sediment transport capacity of the stream, which is influenced by factors such as the size and weight of the boulders, as well as the stream's gradient and flow rate.
Explain how the cobbles and pebbles that were transported by these streams become smooth and rounded in shape?
As the cobbles and pebbles are carried downstream by the stream, they constantly collide with each other and with the streambed, causing abrasion. This abrasion gradually wears away the rough edges and corners of the rocks, resulting in their smooth and rounded appearance. The longer the rocks are transported by the stream, the more worn down they become.
Why do boulders become smaller as they are moved down a stream bed?
sediment
Particles carried by a stream or river?
A load is the term for particles carried by a stream or river.
What are bed loads in a stream?
the sand, gravel, boulders, or other debris transported by rolling or sliding along the bot-tom of a stream.
What is sediment that moves along the bed of a stream?
The sediment that moves along the bed of a stream is called bedload. Bedload consists of larger particles such as sand, gravel, and boulders that are transported by rolling, sliding, or bouncing along the streambed.
