Sediment transport (process modes): Within a transporting medium (e.g., flowing water or wind), transport of particles can occur by which mechanisms? Recognize the standard modes of sediment movement used in geomorphology. Choose the correct option.

Given data

• Asked: Modes by which material is transported in a medium.

Concept/ApproachIn rivers/wind, particles and solutes are carried by solution (dissolved load), suspension (fine particles kept aloft), and traction (rolling/sliding along the bed). Thus, all listed mechanisms are valid transport modes.

Final AnswerAll of the above
