- mud or clay or small rocks deposited by a river or lake
- silt up: become chocked with silt; "The river silted up"
- Silt is granular material of a grain size between sand and clay derived from soil or rock. Silt may occur as a soil or as suspended sediment (also known as suspended load) in a surface water body. It may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a water body.
- Silt is the debut album by Mistle Thrush, a Boston, Massachusetts-based band. It was released in 1995 on CD by Bedazzled (catalog #BDZ26). The previous year, the band released a five-song EP titled Agus Amàrach. The band didn't release another full-length album until 1997's Super Refraction. ...
- Mud or fine earth deposited from running or standing water; Material with similar physical characteristics, whatever its origins or transport; To clog or fill with silt; To become clogged with silt
- (Silts) Muddy material that can be organic or non-organic in composition
- Soil particles having diameters between 0.004 and 0.062 mm (millimeters). Sometimes they may be too small to be trapped by the circulation system. In those cases, a clarifier or an alum product may be needed.
- Sedimentary materials composed of fine or intermediate sized mineral particles.
- As a soil separate, individual mineral particles that range in diameter from the upper limit of clay (0.002 millimeter) to the lower limit of very fine sand (0.05 millimeter). As a soil textural class, soil that is 80 percent or more silt and less than 12 percent clay.
- Substrate particles smaller than sand and larger than clay.
- Fine particles of sand or rock that can be picked up by the air or water and deposited as sediment.
- A fine-grained sediment having a particle size intermediate between that of fine sand and clay.
- Soil particles between 0.002 mm and 0.05 mm (in some countries 0.06 mm is the upper size limit), with high or medium-high specific area influencing stability of soil structure; also used as a texture class name for medium and medium-fine soil materials.
- Soil inorganic particles in the 0.002-0.02 mm size range, smaller than sand but larger than clay. Silt, which washes off the land into a body of water, can settle out of the water and smother benthic organisms such as oysters.
- The fine-grained portion of soil that is nonplastic or very slightly plastic and that exhibits little or no strength when air dry. Nonplastic soil which passes a No. 200 United States Standard sieve. A soil composed of particles between 1/256 mm and 1/16 mm in diameter. ...
- A soil component consisting of moderately sized particles (0.002 to 0.05 mm diameter). Silt particles provide a moderate amount of surface area for adsorption of molecules, providing some resistance to leaching of charged molecules. ...
- a particle of rock/mineral with a diameter between 0.01 and 0.1mm.
- inorganic sediment particles between 3.9 and 62.5 μm in diameter; 'siltation' is the process of being covered by or embedded in silt
- Soil particles in between sand and clay in size. Silt feels like flour (smooth and velvety). Also refers to a soil texture that consists of at least 80% silt particles.
- Particles of dirt in ponds, lakes, rivers, streams, and marshes. Silt moves around a lot when it is disturbed. Too much silt in the water is a problem, since it can cover and destroy eggs of fish, amphibians, and other organisms.
- fine rock particles, 0.004-0.08 mm (0.00015-0.003 inches) in diameter.
- The fine sediment in a river bed that fills holes and the spaces between rocks.
- A fine soil particle with sizes within the range 0.075mm and 0.002mm.
- A soil separate consisting of particles between 0.05 and 0.002 mm in equivalent diameter.
- detrital, clay-rich sediment with a particle size of 1/16-1/256 mm. range.
