'Suspension' or as you cited in your question 'suspended load'. Fine materials can be suspended in the water and are carried away in such a method. These particles are too light to sink to the bottom of the fast moving river. Suspension load forms the largest part of the river load. Materials that can be suspended include silt, mud and clay.

What are the 3 different types of sediment loads that a stream can carry?
suspended load dissolved load bed load
Which stream load consists of particles of fine sand and silt?
The stream load that consists of particles of fine sand and silt is known as the suspended load. This load is carried by the water column and remains suspended due to the turbulence and velocity of the flowing water. Suspended load is important for river ecosystems as it contributes to sediment transport and nutrient distribution.
What is the difference between a stream's suspended load and it's bed load?
Suspended load refers to sediment particles carried within the water column of a stream, while bed load refers to sediment particles that are transported along the streambed through rolling, sliding, or saltation. Suspended load typically consists of smaller particles that remain suspended in the water, while bed load consists of larger particles that move along the streambed.
Which component generally constitutes the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream?
Suspended Load
What pebbles and boulders carried in a stream called?
load or stream load.
What is the total sediment load transported by a stream?
The total sediment load transported by a stream is the sum of the bed load, suspended load, and dissolved load. Bed load consists of larger particles that roll, slide, and bounce along the streambed. Suspended load is finer particles carried in the water column, while dissolved load is material that is dissolved in the water itself.
What is the difference between a stream's load and it's bed load?
The suspended load moves with the water, the bed load only moves when the river is in spate.
The stream load that includes gravel and large rocks is the?
bed load. This type of stream load consists of heavier materials that are transported along the stream bed through rolling, sliding, or bouncing. It tends to move more slowly than suspended load or dissolved load.
What constitutes the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream?
Generally, the highest percentage of the annual sediment load moved by a stream consists of suspended sediment. These are particles like silt and clay that are carried within the stream's water column. Bedload sediment, which is sediment that is moved along the stream bed through rolling or sliding, typically makes up a smaller percentage of the total annual sediment load.
