Why does most of the silt in the Mississippi delta is found farther out to sea than the sand sized particles are?
Asked by Wiki User
Water's ability to transport a load (a grain of sediment) depends on how fast it is flowing. Fast flowing water can move boulders but as the water slows its ability to move things diminishes. As a river enters the sea it ceases to flow (it has reached sea level) and it therefore deposits its last sand first and only the finest silt is carried further by the inertia of the flow.
