∙ 13y agoIf the sediment is waterborne, it could be sand, silt, or clay; if windblown, it may be an aeolian deposit of various light weight matter. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) designates sand particle size as 0.05 to 2.00 mm, (0.002 to 0.08 in); silt as 0.002 to 0.05 mm, and clay as less than 0.002 mm.
