Why is clay found in rivers?

The reason many rivers contain clay is because clay particles are lighter than the small rocks and pebbles beneath, so the clay particles are deposited on top of the rocks. However clay is not lighter than silt particles, in fact clay is much heavier. Normally the silt would cover the clay, but if the river is fast enough, it may continue to carry away the silt particles, and leave the clay.

What is clayey silt?

Clayey silt is a soil type that contains a high proportion of fine particles, with a mixture of clay and silt. The clay content provides cohesion and plasticity to the soil, while the silt component helps with drainage and fertility. Clayey silt is commonly found in areas with moderate water retention and good agricultural potential.


What are examples of silt?
