Gianni Cardenas · Answer 1

The bed load moves the slowest from all the parts of the stream's sediment. It consists of particles suspended that are suspended and float around the bed. This part is the slowest in motion, as it rolls, and moves with the flow. The particles near the bed are not dissolved so they settle at the bottom and move with the stream.
