silt noun [U]. âº âsand or âearth that has been âcarried along by âflowing âwater and then âleft esp. at a âbend in a âriver or at a riverâs âopening. (Definition of silt from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press).
Silt clogs vital shipping channels. Silt is a solid, dust-like sediment that water, ice, and wind transport and deposit. Silt is made up of rock and mineral particles that are larger than clay but smaller than sand. Individual silt particles are so small that they are difficult to see. To be classified as silt, a particle must be less than .005 centimeters (.002 inches) across. Silt is found in soil, along with other types of sediment such as clay, sand, and gravel. Silty soil is slippery when wet, not grainy or rocky. The soil itself can be called silt if its silt content is greater than 80 percent. When deposits of silt are compressed and the grains are pressed together, rocks such as siltstone form.
