Answer 43 - transpiration
A river can carry its load in three ways depending on the grain size of the sediments.
Heavier particles like boulders and pebbles will be transported as a bed load and somewhat finer particles like sand and clay will be transported as supension load and still finer particles will be transported in dissolved state.
Transpiration is the process of evaporation of water from the plant roots and leaves into atmosphere
