Describe three processes by which a river transports its load.

Suspension - some materials like silt is carried in suspension because they are light and can be maintained within turbulence of the water.
Solution – some of the load is dissolved in water and carried in solution form
Saltation – some particles are fairly heavy and momentarily lifted by the turbulence of the water and then dropped onto the river bed.
Transaction – large and heavy particles are rolled along the riverbed.
