Slow moving water will carry materials like sediments off of the rocks on the river bank. Slow moving water might also carry boats for example much more easily that fast moving water.

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.


How does vacuum travel sound?

Sound is carried by vibrations moving through a material, whether the material is solid, liquid or gaseous. A vacuum is the absence of material and therefore there is no material to vibrate, hence no sound can be passed through a vacuum.


What are the 3 factors that affect a river's sediment load?

Suspended load: All organic and inorganic material carried in moving water Dissolved load: All organic and inorganic material carried in solution by moving water Bed load: Coarse materials such as gravel, stones. These things move along the bottom of the river by rolling, or sliding.


Are rock fragments carried away by moving water?

The amount of water a stream or river carries in a given amount of time?

Its 'load' - Suspended load: All organic and inorganic material carried in moving water Dissolved load: All organic and inorganic material carried in solution by moving water Bed load: Coarse materials such as gravel, stones. These things move along the bottom of the river by rolling, or sliding.


Why are metals conductive?

Metals are conductive because they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current easily through the material.


Which particles can wind move most easily?

Wind can most easily move small, lightweight particles such as dust, sand, and leaves. These particles are easily carried by the force of the moving air and are commonly observed being transported by wind.


Can easily sweep pedestrians and vehicles downstream?

Moving water can easily sweep pedestrians and vehicles downstream. The water does not need to be moving fast, but obviously, flash flooding imposes the greatest risk. Vehicles can be engulfed or overturned. People can be carried downstream for miles and drown from fighting the water.


What is a material on the bottom of a stream?

Silt is one type of material found on the bottom of a stream. Silt is fine and can be carried along in moving water, but is heavyier than water, so settles out of the water as it slows. It can be organic or mineral.

Is a conductor a material that allows electric current to flow through easily?

Yes, a conductor is a material that allows electric current to flow through easily due to the presence of free-moving electrons that can carry the charge. Common examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
