What happens to bedload size and shape downstream?
As bedload sediment moves downstream, its size typically decreases due to abrasion and weathering, leading to smaller particles being transported. Additionally, the shape of the sediment tends to become more rounded as angular particles collide with each other and the riverbed, smoothing their surfaces. This process results in a gradual sorting of sediment, with coarser material often found upstream and finer material downstream. Overall, the downstream transport leads to a more uniform sediment composition.

How do you calculate sample size?
Count up the number of obseravtions made on the experimental units. That is the sample size.

Does the rivers velocity affect the rivers bed load shape and size?
Faster river velocities are capable of carrying greater amounts of bedload and transporting them farther and faster. The shape of the sediments of the bedload would therefore be exposed to more physical weathering which would progressively round the sediments and also decrease their size.
What is a bedload?
waste transported from the river!
How do you find river bed-load?
To find river bedload, you can collect sediment samples from the river bed and analyze them in a laboratory. Another method is to use a sediment trap or gauge to measure the amount of sediment transported by the river over time. This can help determine the size and composition of the bedload in the river.
The amount of sediment that a river carries is its?
bedload
What is the fine sediment transported within the body of flowing water?
a bedload
What is a angular bedload?
Angular bedload consists of coarse sediment particles, such as gravel and cobbles, that are transported along a riverbed by rolling or sliding. These particles have angular shapes due to their solid and hard composition, which makes them more resistant to abrasion compared to more rounded particles. Angular bedload contributes to the erosion and sediment transport processes in rivers.
What is river efficiency?
River efficiency is how easily a river can move water, sediment and bedload.
What happens to bedload size and shape downstream?

This process results in a gradual sorting of sediment, with coarser material often found upstream and finer material downstream. Overall, the downstream transport leads to a more uniform sediment composition.
Why does the size of the bedload decrease and its roundness increase as you travel downstream?
Well, honey, as you travel downstream, the bedload size decreases because the heavier, larger particles settle out first closer to the source. And as for the roundness increase, well, that's just nature's way of giving those rocks a nice little spa treatment as they bump and grind their way downstream, getting smoother and rounder with each mile. So, in a nutshell, it's all about physics and erosion doing their thang as the river does its own version of a rock makeover.
