Solution load

Suspension load

Saltation load

Traction load

- Solution load: This involves materials dissolved in water, carried invisibly. These are mainly chemical sediments, not rocks.

- Suspension load: This includes fine particles like silt and clay that float within the water. They do not typically include heavy rocks.

- Saltation load: Here, particles like sand and small pebbles bounce along the riverbed, intermittently lifted off the bottom.

- Traction load: The heaviest rocks are moved here as they are rolled or pushed along the riverbed. This involves direct contact with the bed.

- Correct Answer: Traction load
