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.


Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because?

they are light enough to be carried by water or wind without settling out. These small particles are typically clay or silt-sized, allowing them to remain suspended for longer periods. Sand and larger particles are too heavy to be suspended and settle more quickly.


Is gasoline a suspension?

Gasoline is not a suspension; it is a homogeneous mixture of different hydrocarbons, including compounds like octane and heptane, along with additives. A suspension is a mixture in which tiny solid particles are dispersed in a liquid.


How the products of weathering are carried away by erossion?

Products of weathering are carried away by erosion through processes like water flow, wind transport, and ice movement. As water flows over the land, it picks up and carries away smaller rock particles and sediment. Wind can transport lighter particles through suspension or saltation, while ice movement can transport sediment within glaciers.


What are the 4 steps of wind erosion?

Deflation: Fine particles are lifted and carried away by wind. Abrasion: Wind-blown particles impact and wear down surfaces. Suspension: Fine particles are carried through the air. Deposition: Wind drops particles in a new location, forming sediment deposits.

What material is least likely to be carried in suspension?

Large, heavy materials such as boulders or gravel are least likely to be carried in suspension because they require more energy to keep them moving in the water column. Instead, these materials tend to be transported as bed load, rolling or sliding along the riverbed.

Is air a suspension mixtures?

A suspension is a mixture of liquids with particles of a solid which may not dissolve in the liquid. Therefore, air would be a suspension.


Is 3 percent hydrogen peroxide a suspension?

No, 3% hydrogen peroxide is not a suspension. It is a solution where hydrogen peroxide is completely dissolved in water. A suspension would involve particles of hydrogen peroxide that are not fully dissolved and would settle over time.
