Silt In the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and the AASHTO Soil Classification system, the sand–silt distinction is made at the 0.075 mm particle size (i.e., material passing the #200 sieve). Silts and clays are distinguished mechanically by their plasticity. Silt is easily transported in water or other liquid and is fine enough to be carried long distances by air in the form of dust. Thick deposits of silty material resulting from deposition by aeolian processes are often called loess. Silt and clay contribute to turbidity in water. Silt is transported by streams or by water currents in the ocean. When
Granular pugolovka cycle is about a year, which is normally how long it takes for their spawning season to start after their birth. The granular pugolovka all die shortly after spawning with the females dying before the males due to the more costly act of laying eggs as opposed to the males role of releasing sperm.
