Answer to Question 1

If two streams have very similar climates but very different sediment loads per given area, I would suspect that they have a dramatic difference in relief. The stream with the high sediment load would have steep relief.
If two streams have very similar climates but very different dissolved loads per given area, I would suspect that they have a dramatic difference in rock type. The stream with the high dissolved load would have an abundance of soluble rocks like limestone. The stream with the low dissolved load would have an abundance of less soluble rocks like granite.

Answer to Question 2

Sediment production would dominantly be mechanical, with little sediment produced. The sediments produced would remain in place or be transported by winds.
