Sediment TransportHow does material as small as molecules or large as boulders get carried downstream? Some material, like salts, gets dissolved into the water. Other material is carried in suspension (making the water look muddy). The largest materials move downstream in a sort of skipping motion along the stream bottom, or are simply dragged along. Of course, some material is so large it is only moved during floodstage.
