They deposit them later as the go along. At the end of the river the left over material forms a delta.

Moving water in a river can pick up sediment and carry it along in a what kind of load?

Moving water in a river can pick up sediment and carry it along in a suspended load. This includes small particles like silt and clay that are held up and transported within the flow of the water.


What is it called when glaciers pick up large rocks and carry them away?

It could be two things, either plucking, a form of glacial erosion where weak rock is moved or erratics, which is a form of glacial deposition in which rocks, even car size, are transported by glacial ice into a region with different bedrock.


What is the process called when glacier pick up rocks?

The process of a glacier picking up rocks and transporting them is called "glacial entrainment" or "glacial plucking." When a glacier moves over bedrock, it can freeze onto and pluck rocks from the surface, incorporating them into the ice. These rocks can then be transported and eventually deposited as the glacier flows and melts.


How do glaciers contribute to the process of erosion?

Glaciers contribute to erosion by plucking and abrasion. Plucking occurs when glaciers pick up rocks and materials as they move, while abrasion happens when these materials scrape and carve the underlying rock, gradually wearing it down. As glaciers flow, they also erode the landscape by bulldozing and pushing material along their path.


Element of nature that can cause mechanical weathering by flowing over or carrying rocks along in a current?

Water is the element of nature that can cause mechanical weathering by flowing over rocks in a current. As water moves, it can pick up and carry sediment, grinding against rocks and causing them to break down into smaller pieces. This process is known as abrasion.

What is it called when rivers pick up tiny rocks from parent rocks?

Weathering is the reduction in size of the parent rocks. Erosion is the movement of the rock particles to a different location, in this case, via river water.

What is the load rejection and load pick-up in the power generation?

Load rejection occurs when load is suddenly removed from the generator. The most obvious example of this is the breaker connecting the generator to the power grid opens. This results in a full load rejection. Load pick up means the generator is supplying power to a given load. When a generator comes on line, it will pick up some load that might have been supplied by another generator.

How does rivers cause erosion?

water in a river is constantly moving. Moving water will pick up sediments from the bottom of a river, and carry them with it. Water also has the power to move large rocks slowly along the bottom of a river.
