no, suspended load is responsible for the most stream erosion

10. Question:
Which load is responsible for the most stream erosion?

Your Answer:
Bed load CORRECT ANSWER
 Suspended load INCORRECT
 Dissolved load

If a stream's discharge decreases how does it affect the stream's capacity
Definition1/17

The capacity of a stream is the maximum load it can carry. Capacity is directly related to a stream's discharge. The greater the volume of water in a stream is, the greater its capacity is for carrying sediment. So if a stream's discharge decreases, the stream's capacity also decreases.
