Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bed load is moved by saltation and traction, but not by suspension. Saltation involves particles bouncing along the riverbed, while traction involves larger particles rolling or sliding along the bed. Suspension involves finer particles being carried within the water column, which is not characteristic of bed load movement.
