Silt particles are usually classified as being between 0.002 mm and 0.063 mm in size
No
clay and silt
Loess is deposited by wind.
very interesting
yes! particles of a substance assume different shapes and sizes
Soil Consists of solid grains that have various sizes. Like coarse grained particles such as boulder, gravel and sand also fine grained particles such as silt and clay. The grains are classified according to their sizes. A size of solid particles ranging between 0.06 mm and 0.002 mm is know as silt. It's just looks like a powder.

Sand particles are much larger than silt particles.
Soil Texture - measurement of the proportion of mineral particles of different sizes that are found in the same sample of soil (sand, silt, clay).

Particles in a wide range of sizes (: your welcome to all those lazy teenagers who dont wanna actually do they work so they look it up like me (;
siltstone
Silt.
No
Any unconsolidated, non-stratified soil composed primarily of silt-sized particles.
D. FINE SILT PARTICLES
The difference is that clay is smaller than silt, and clay is sticky, while the silt is loose and feels silky.
