Encyclopedia > Bed load

Bed load is a term to describe the larger particles (relative to the suspended load) that are carried along the bottom of a stream. Suspended Load is the term for the fine particles that are light enough to be carried in a stream without touc hing the stream bed. ... Butchers Creek, Omeo, Victoria A stream, brook, beck, burn or creek, is a body of water with a detectable current, confined within a bed and banks. ...


Generally, bed load downstream will be smaller and more rounded than bed load upstream. This is due to attrition and abrasion which cause the stones to bump against each other and against the river channel, thus removing its rough texture and making it smaller.
