River Processes - Transportation

When a river has a lot of energy it is able to transport material. There are four ways which a river can transport material.
- Traction: Where large pieces of load are rolled along the river bed.
- Saltation: Where smaller load bounces along the river bed.
- Suspension: Where fine pieces of load are carried in a rivers flow, they are suspended within the water.
- Solution: The process of dissolved pieces of material being transported in a solution.
