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. Lot of people trolling this days...

What else can I help you with?
Most streams carry the largest part of their load?
In Suspension.
What is the difference between a streams suspended load and its bed load?
The difference between a suspended load and a bead load is a suspended load consists of the small particles or rock materials that are dispersed throughout the water and easily carried downstream. The bead load consists of the larger particles that are dragged and bounced along near the bottom of the river.
What term is used to describe desert streams that carry water only during periods of rainfall called?
Wadi
What make up the suspended loads of most rivers and streams?
Clay, sand, silt.
What is the dropping of sediment that occurs when an agent of erosion can no longer carry its load?
I'm pretty sure it is called "deposition".
Most streams carry the largest part of their load?
In Suspension.
Where do streams carry the largest part of there load at?
Streams carry the largest part of their load near their source, where they have the most energy and ability to transport sediment. As streams move downstream and lose energy, they deposit sediment in the form of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
Why is bed load only found in mountain streams in high gradients?
streams with low gradients usually move slowly and can't carry bed load dowmstream
When is the total load that a stream can carry greatest?
The total volume of flow in streams is termed discharge.
Why is bed load only found in mountain streams with high gradient?
Bed load is mainly found in mountain streams with high gradients because the fast-flowing water in these streams has enough energy to transport larger sediments like rocks and boulders along the stream bed. In contrast, lower-gradient streams do not have enough energy to move larger particles, resulting in finer sediments being transported as suspended load or dissolved load instead of as bed load.
What does a streams load consists of?
Mineral materials
Is it true streams carry a greater load of sand and gravel as they leave a mountain range than the resulting river will carry across the lowlands?
Yes, as in the lower reaches, with a slower flow of water, a lot of sediment, sand and gravel settles out.
What are three way streams transport sediments?
Streams transport sediment in three ways. 1. in solution (dissolved load) 2. in suspension (suspended load) 3. scooting or rolling along the bottom (bed load)
Can streams pick up a greater load of sand and gravel as they leave a mountain range and flow across a lowland?
Yes, streams leaving a mountain range and flowing across a lowland can pick up a greater load of sand and gravel due to decreased slope and increased sediment availability. The reduced gradient allows streams to carry larger particles, while erosion in the mountainous regions provides a ready supply of sediment to be transported downstream.
What is the best way to carry a load when driving on a ramp?
With a forklift, carry the load on the uphill side.
How much load does a 2X6X12' carry?
2x6x12 load
What are some phrases on carry?
Carry on Carry the torch Carry the water Carry the load
