Hi. Mostly if settles down and captures more silt. It can eventually become rock such as shale.
Silt has neither high or low permeability. It has moderate permeability. :) !
There are a few listed synonyms for the word silt. These include the words sand, residue, deposit, and settlings.
I assume you mean river deltas. They are an accumulation of soil deposits from the river. The river picks up certain amounts of soil as the water travels down its length and once it empties into a lake or sea the soil falls on the same spot. This eventually builds up a small mound of soil.BETTER, MORE EASIER TO UNDERSTAND ANSWER:Deltas are formed when rivers pull dirt and silt from their banks into the current. When the river reaches the ocean it deposits the silt. Over time the silt builds up to create little Islands at the mouth of the river called a Delta.
you can find silt in dirt. it is also found in streams & rivers when the water washes away some soil.
It depends on the type of silt, but it could be as much as 1 3/4 tons.
I know for a fact silt is found along the banks of the Nile after a flood
Silt
It leaves silt that builds up the land around the river banks.
silt and sediment onto the surrounding floodplain.
I've been shovelling silt for 3 hours, dear. The silt has come up over the wall, sir.
Fine particles of fertile land that is deposited on the banks of a river after a flood
The very old winding brook became filled with silt, and no longer flowed as strongly as it once had.

The mineral-rich silt deposited on the banks is called "alluvium." It is typically brought by rivers and streams and contains a mixture of minerals, organic materials, and sediments. The deposition of alluvium is essential for the fertility of floodplains and agricultural lands.
Recent deposits by a river are known as alluvium, which can include a mix of rocks, gravel, sand, silt, and clay. These materials are carried by the river's current and eventually deposited along its banks or floodplains.
Some examples of silt include fine grains of sand, mud, and clay that are deposited by water or wind and typically found near river banks, deltas, and estuaries. Silt particles are larger than clay but smaller than sand.
The rains didn't deposit anything. But the annual floodings deposited rich silt on the banks of the nile, making the land real fertile.
