silt (sediment, <soil by composition or origin>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: All sediment particles, regardless of mineral origin, that fall within a specified size range between those of sand and clay. An unconsolidated aggregation of particles is also called silt; a consolidated aggregate, silt-stone. |

Additional Notes: |

Dutch ..... Alle sedimentdeeltjes, ongeacht hun minerale oorsprong, die binnen een bepaalde groottecategorie vallen, tussen zand en klei in. Ook een ongeconsolideerde aggregatie van deeltjes wordt wel silt genoemd, en een wel geconsolideerde aggregatie siltsteen. |
