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.

What transport processes would likely dominate a muddy stream A solution B traction C saltation D suspension E abrasion?

In a muddy stream, suspension and saltation would likely dominate as transport processes. Suspension refers to particles being carried in the water column, while saltation involves particles bouncing or skipping along the stream bed. The other processes may also occur to some extent but suspension and saltation are typically most prominent in muddy streams.

Types of deposits?

The four types of deposits are: Recurring, Fixed, Savings and Current Savings. Deposits refer to the summary or total of the money kept or place in a bank account.


What is saltation geography?

Saltation geography is a geomorphological process that involves the transportation of sediment particles by the wind in short, intermittent jumps. This process is common in arid and desert environments where wind is a major agent of erosion and sediment transport. Saltation can result in the formation of features such as sand dunes and desert pavements.

What is saltation and traction?

Saltation is the process of small particles being lifted and transported by wind or water in short, intermittent jumps. Traction refers to larger particles being rolled or dragged along by wind or water. Both processes are important in the transportation of sediment in natural environments.


What is the movement called that bounces rocks on the river bed?

What are three ways streams transport their load of sediment?

A stream carries its load by suspension, solution and floatation. When small particles are picked up by the water and carried, it is being suspended. When an object is less dense than the water, it will be floating. When a material dissolves in the water, it is a solution.


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.
