Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The large particles that bounce or roll along the streambed are part of the bed load, which is the portion of a stream's sediment load that is made up of particles that travel on, or immediately above, the streambed. The suspended load consists of smaller particles that are carried by the water and stay in suspension in the water column, while the dissolved load consists of dissolved minerals and chemicals that are carried by the water. Discharge refers to the amount of water flowing in a stream.
