How particles would move in gel electrophoresis according to size?
During gel electrophoresis, the smaller particles move faster than the larger ones. The end of the gel where the samples are loaded is called the sample origin. Samples move from the origin toward the opposite electrode according to size. At the end of the run, smaller particles will have migrated farther from the origin and the larger ones will be found closer to the origin

Why does most of the silt in the Mississippi delta is found farther out to sea than the sand sized particles are?
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.
