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.

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".
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.
Which is the best definition of deposition The transportation of sediments to another place The dropping off of eroded sediment or The swelling of earth materials as it soaks up water?
I don't know what you mean, but I hope this helps: Deposition is the putting down of a load. In geological terms, by a glacier, river, or wind mainly.
Is vegetative roof a dead load or live load?
Although it's counterintuitive, the saturated soil and vegetation are considered a dead load.
How do a river's slope and volume of flow affect the rivers sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
How do rivers slope and volume of flow affect the river's sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
Do the gradient levels and the sediment load increase or decrease the rivers age?
As a river gets older sediment load decreases due to the age of the river and erosion
What is meant by the rivers load?
the amount of sediment a river is carrying during flow
What effect does increase slope have on a rivers speed and sediment load?
it puts dirt in it making the water dirty :) <3
Where does the rivers load come from?
Sediment derived from the weathering of rocks, and run-off from the land, being washed into the water.
What is the materials carried by a river known as?
load
How do a river slope and volume of affect the river sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
How do a river slope and volume of flow affect the river sediment load?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.
How do river's slope and volume of flow affect the river's sediment load.?
The steeper the slope, the faster the water will run, and the more sediment it can carry.The larger the volume of water that is moving, the more sediment it can carry with it.

What is the quantity of sediment carried by a river?
sediment load
