Solution - when minerals in rocks like chalk and limestone are dissolved in sea water and then carried in solution. The load is not visible.
Suspension - small particles such as silts and clays are suspended in the flow of the water.
Saltation – where small pieces of shingle or large sand grains are bounced along the sea bed.
Traction – where pebbles and larger material are rolled along the sea bed.
Explanation:
The sea's load refers to all material that is carried along by the waves. Waves carry their load in two main ways: • Up the shore in the swash, and back down the shore in the. backwash. • This movement results in the process of longshore drift.
