True
False
It is made of quartz
It is the smallest sediment so it is held by moving water the easiest
The silt has a negative charge and repels the clay
Clay is the first to settle
There is fast moving water that slows here
There is no energy/moving water depositing sediments that far out
There is slow moving water slows even more here
Large sediments are carried the farthest
