Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The suspended load of a stream usually consists of fine particles such as silt and clay that are carried within the water column, giving the water a turbid appearance. These particles remain suspended due to the turbulence of the water and the upward buoyancy of small particles. They are sometimes deposited later on when the flow slows down or they settle out over time.
