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.
Clay tablets were made out of clay that was easily found by the rivers of Tigris and Euphrates.

Yes, clay can be found in mountains. Clay is a common sedimentary rock material that can be formed from the weathering and erosion of rocks found in mountainous regions. It can also be deposited by rivers and streams in mountainous areas.
Clay and silt are found in soil. They are both fine-grained particles that contribute to soil texture and affect factors such as water retention, drainage, and nutrient availability for plants. Clay particles are smaller than silt particles and have different properties that influence soil structure and fertility.
