Suspended load
Sandstone is likely the sedimentary rock that was part of a beach, river, or stream environment. It forms from the accumulation and compaction of sand-sized particles, which are commonly carried and deposited by water in these environments.
Load is the sediment or material carried by a river or stream. It can include rocks, sand, and silt. Increased load in a river can lead to increased erosion as the flowing water carries more sediment and particles, causing the river to deepen its channel and potentially carve into the surrounding land.
They are in solution.
The different types of loads in a stream include bed load (particles moving along the stream bed), suspended load (fine particles carried in the water column), and dissolved load (chemical substances carried in solution). These loads contribute to the overall sediment transport and water quality of the stream.
Clay particles are very fine grained and light weight, so easily carried along by flowing water.
Bed load is a term used in the field of geomorphology to describe the particles such as sand, gravel, and pebbles that are transported along the bed of a river or stream by rolling, sliding, or bouncing. These particles are too heavy to be suspended in the water column, unlike suspended load. Bed load movement can contribute to erosion and sediment transport in river systems.
Because the velocity of the river water decreases as it enters the ocean.

Solid particles in a stream can include sediment, rocks, sand, gravel, and organic material like leaves or sticks. These particles are carried along by the flow of water and can vary in size and composition depending on the stream's location and characteristics.
The process by which the material carried by a stream or river settles or is dropped is called deposition. This occurs when the velocity of the water decreases, causing it to lose the energy needed to carry sediment, which then settles to the riverbed.
