Want this question answered?
More silt is typically found in flatlands compared to mountains. Flatlands have more opportunity for sediment deposits to accumulate and settle, while mountains have rough terrain and faster water flow that can carry away silt more effectively.
I'm not a scientist but I myself, think that erosion is greater on a mountain slope. This is due to gravitational pull on soil, rocks, water... Being pulled down therefore, causing erosion. This is just my opinion.
Clay
The finer material holds more water. The granular size of Clay, Silt and Sand are in this order (smallest to largest):ClaySiltSandSo Clay holds the most water, then Silt, Then Sand.This can be disproved if one is dry and the other is wet or other variations of this idea obviously.*This is one of those question where I wish wiki Answers would allow commas.
three facts about silt are that one is that silt is a type of ,two is that there is more then one type of silt in the word ,and silt is rough.
silt is just little pieces of rock that the water has flowed across
A silt trap is a designated area where water that is contaminated with suspended sediment as a result of construction activity or water runoff is contained. While the water is in a silt trap, the sediment can settle to the bottom of the trap until it can be removed.
Silt and soil are most deposited in the water and then it goes in to the rivers or oceans :)
The Colorado rive carries about five times more silt then the Nile. The Colorado per one acre foot of water can move 11 tons of silt in a twenty four hour period.
the question is What is a string mountains on land or ocean floor? the answer to the question is String of mountains on land or on the ocean floor Desalinization Process that separates most of the dissolved chemical elements Ground Water Water contained inside Earth's crust Delta Area where sand, silt, clay or gravel is deposited at the mouth of a river Water percentage on Earth and that is the answer to that question
---defined: Silt is a granular material of a grain size between sand and clay derived from soil or rock. Silt may occur as soil or as suspended sediment in a body of water. Silt may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a body of water. There is much silt at the bottom of most lakes. ---- sentence example: The silt in the water left me with a feeling of isolation as the murky darkness enclosed around us.
It will make the water white
