Answer:

As a stream flows faster, it can carry larger and larger particles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unlike dissolved load, the size of the particle that can be carried as suspended load is determined by the velocity of the stream. As a stream flows faster, it can carry larger and larger particles. The larger the size particle that can be carried by a stream, the greater the stream's competence.
