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 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.

Is vegetative roof a dead load or live load?
Although it's counterintuitive, the saturated soil and vegetation are considered a dead load.

When is the total load that a stream can carry greatest?
The total volume of flow in streams is termed discharge.

The bead load consists of the larger particles that are dragged and bounced along near the bottom of the river.
Can streams pick up a greater load of sand and gravel as they leave a mountain range and flow across a lowland?
yes
What is a streams bed load?
Sediment that is carried by a stream along the bottom of its channel.
