Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sediment transport is the movement of small particles of rock by a stream. Debris Movement and Stream deposit movement are not accurate terms to describe this process. Alluvial movement and Riparian transport refer to broader processes of water and land interaction, and are not specific enough to describe the movement of sediment in a stream.
