It also can be felt by the tongue as granular when placed on the front teeth (even when mixed with clay particles). Silt is created by a variety of physical processes capable of splitting the generally sand-sized quartz crystals of primary rocks by exploiting deficiencies in their lattice.

The main process is abrasion through transport, including fluvial comminution, aeolian attrition and glacial grinding. It is in
