Talk:Alluvium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Minor Edit
"The finer material, or silt, consists of sand and mud. Larger particles, or gravel, are also typically present in a wide range of sizes."
- Edited because silt is not made of sand and mud. Silt is a substance smaller than sand but larger than clay.

Is alluvium a synonym to sediment? /Habj 15:08, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- No. Alluvium is a type of sediment, usually the gravel, silt, etc deposited by a river along its floodplain. Sediment is a more general term that would include alluvium. Vsmith 17:34, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
