When sand, clay, or silt gradually turn into stone, we call them sedimentary rocks. These rocks are formed through the accumulation and compaction of sediment over time.
Yes, silt is smaller than sand.
Sand is generally heavier than silt because sand particles are larger and more dense than silt particles. The larger size and higher density of sand particles make them weigh more than silt particles.
Sand is more permeable than silt because sand particles are larger with more spaces between them, allowing water to flow more easily through them. Silt particles are smaller and more compact, resulting in lower permeability.
The four main classes of soil are sand, silt, clay, and loam. Sand particles are the largest, silt particles are medium-sized, and clay particles are the smallest. Loam is a mixture of sand, silt, and clay, and is considered the most ideal soil type for plant growth.

IS limit for silt in sand is 15to 35
Yes, silt is smaller than sand.
Sand particles are much larger than silt particles.
They are alike because they both are soil

Silt has finer sediment compared to sand. Silt particles are smaller than sand particles, making silt feel smooth and silky to the touch.
