What make up the suspended loads of most rivers and streams?
Clay, sand, silt.
How do streams carry their load?
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...Please do not delete.
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 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".
Where in a river from top to bottom can you find dissolved load suspended load and bed load?
Bed load will be the heavier stuff that will soon fall out of the flow - boulders, gravel, large grains of sand. Suspended load is the finer stuff that the flow can carry further, even as far as the sea, deposited as sand, silt and mud. Dissolved load is the chemicals that will remain in the water until mixed with salt water and become dispersed in the sea.
What is the largest part of a streams load?
Along the stream's bottom
Why is bed load only found in mountain streams with high gradient?
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.
Materials carried in a streams water?
its junk? bed load, which sometimes includes junk
What does a streams load consists of?
Mineral materials
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)
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 is the best way to carry a load when driving on a ramp?
With a forklift, carry the load on the uphill side.
