Best Answer

Traction : Larger objects (eg. boulders, rocks) roll along the river bed.

Suspension : Minerals like clay or sand are carried alone the river without any contact with the river bed.

Solution : Rocks and gravel bounce along the river bed

Saltation : The water dissolves minerals like calcium in the water which become invisible to the naked eye.

How and why does the load transported by river vary?

The load in a river can be transported in 4 ways. The first is Traction. It is when rocks and boulders are rolled along the river bed by the force of the water. The second is Saltation this is when stones and pebbles are bounced along the river bed. The third is Suspension this is when fine particles like silt floot along in the water. The last is Solution which is when the material dissolves in the water. These different methods are used depending on the size of the load to be transported and the energy of the river. A river needs little energy to transport a small mineral by solution but lots of energy to transport heavy boulders it by traction.


Is orange juice a solution or suspension?

Orange juice from concentrate would be a solution, although real orange juice is neither a solution or a suspension. The major difference between solution and suspension is that a solution is a homogeneous mixture, and a suspension is heterogeneous.
