The velocity of the flowing water is the primary factor that determines how much sediment it can carry. Higher velocity can transport larger and heavier particles, while lower velocity can only carry finer sediments.
Cardboard is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity as it does not contain free-flowing electrons that can carry an electric charge.
When waves hit the shoreline, they slow down and their energy is transferred to the coast. This can cause erosion of the shoreline, as the waves carry sediment away. The waves can also break, creating turbulence and causing sediment to be deposited on the beach.
Waves can carry energy and information across space. The type of wave determines what exactly is being carried - for example, sound waves carry energy that we perceive as sound, while electromagnetic waves carry energy and information in the form of light or radio signals.
The amount of energy in a wave is determined by its amplitude, which is the height of the wave from the equilibrium position. Waves with greater amplitude carry more energy.
The movement of waves down the beach is called longshore drift. This process occurs when waves approach the shore at an angle and carry sediment along the coast.
Because it has less energy and can carry less sediments.
The ability of flowing water to carry sediment and debris allows it to wear away and erode rocks and soil over time. Additionally, the force and pressure of moving water can undercut riverbanks and cliffs, further accelerating erosion processes.
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
Water is typically the most powerful agent of deposition due to its ability to transport and deposit large amounts of sediment. This is especially true for rivers and streams, where flowing water can pick up and carry a variety of sediment sizes.
The smaller the load a river has the more sediment it can carry is false. When the river has more energy, it is able to carry a larger load, therefore more sediment.

(i.e Glaciers with rocks frozen in them.) Falls off when thawed.
Fast moving water can carry more sediment. Firstly because the potential of erosion rises with flow speed; secondly because larger grains can be transported by faster water and thirdly because the volume flow per unit time increases with flow speed. The actual amount / concentration of sediment transported by a stream is very dependent on the geology of the catchment, i.e. the amount of soft sediment available for erosion.
Actually, the larger the load a river has, the more sediment it can carry. A river's capacity to transport sediment is often determined by factors like its velocity and volume of water flow. When a river has a larger load, it can transport more sediment downstream.
The overall length of the vessel determines the equipment that it is able to carry.
Length of a boat determines the equipment a boat must carry.
High gradient streams have steeper slopes, which means they have more energy and power to transport larger sediment particles. The fast flowing water in high gradient streams can effectively carry and move these large particles due to the force of the water flow.
No, fast-moving water typically carries more sediment than slow-moving water because it has more energy to suspend and transport sediments. However, in very fast-flowing water, such as during a flood, sediment may be deposited when the water slows down.
