If you mix the dirt in water and just let it sit will all the dirt go to the bottom?
Dirt is denser than water, so it will eventually settle to the bottom, but that would take a VERY long time.

This depends on the dirt.
If say the Dirt containe some salt, then the salt will dissolve in the water and not sink down. It is watersoluble.
Some components might be heavyer than water, and will obviously sink to the bottom.
If the dirt contain some oily substances, then these substances will float on top.
Dirt is not a simple compound that is the same all over the world.
Dirt is chemistry at a quite high level :-)
Regards.
Also, very very small particles will form a colloid and not sink. It's like milk, which is mainly a colloid, not a solution.

What happens to dirt if you put it in a jar of water?
When dirt is placed in water in a jar, the heavier particles in the dirt will settle to the bottom of the jar due to gravity. Smaller particles may remain suspended in the water, creating a murky or cloudy appearance. Over time, the larger particles will continue to settle at the bottom, leaving clearer water at the top.

How was the shovel used in the gold rush?
One of the main methods to look for gold was in the rivers for gold nuggets. The miners had a sluce box and rocker to find the gold. The sluce box was a wooden box with an box on top to shovel in dirt and to poor water over the dirt. The dirt/water would run down a tracer that emptied into the river. In the tracer the gold nuggets would fall to the bottom instead of washing out. The rocker had a similar idea but it rocked back and forth to separate the dirt with water. Again shovel fulls of dirt were put into the rocker to separate dirt from gold. The miners doing this would stand in dirt and water all day long with shovels of dirt and water for the few nuggets they could get.

How far must dirt be away from above ground pool?
Dirt holds moisture or water, the walls of an above ground pool are thin, yes you can put dirt around the walls, however the trade off is going to be you will shorten the length of life of the pool walls because they will rust away, so you are the one that needs to decide what you want to do, you can put plastic between the walls and the dirt or sand that will give you some extra time before the walls and frame rust away. Just a reminder from me the bottom of all most all above ground pools have dirt or sand around the bottom of the frames and a little bit of dirt on the walls you should get 5 years or a little more before the frame weakens or the side or a wall blows out. your warranty should disclose this information, or call a pool dealer in your area.
