saltation and traction, which occur when rocks carried along the streambed of the river, is considered which type of sediment load?



Answer :

Saltation and traction, occur when rocks carried along the streambed of the river, is considered as the suspended load.

Patches within a stream are transported in different ways depending on their size. Large patches which rest on the stream bed are known as the bedload. The bedload may only be transported when the flux rate is speedy and under flood tide conditions. They are transported by saltation( bouncing along, and colliding with other patches) and by traction( being pushed on by the force of the flux).

Minor particles may rest on the bottom occasionally, where they can be transported by saltation and traction, but they can also be held in suspense in the fluent water( the suspended load), especially at advanced flux speed.
