C) dissolved load
D) saltation
E) rolling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bedload is the type of sediment transport that moves large particles along the channel bed. Rolling, sliding, and bouncing are all mechanisms involved in bedload transport. Suspended load (B) refers to smaller particles that are suspended in the water column, while dissolved load (C) refers to ions that are dissolved in the water. Saltation (D) is a type of bedload transport that involves particles being lifted and dropped repeatedly along the bed. Rolling (E) is one of the mechanisms involved in bedload transport, but it is not a distinct type of sediment transport.
