Question

4 point difference between sand and mud​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Clays are formed from thin plate-shaped particles held together by electrostatic forces, so there is a cohesion. According to the USDA Soil Texture Classification system, the sand-silt distinction is made at the 0.05 mm particle size. The USDA system has been adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). 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 (the deformation of a material undergoing non-reversible changes of shape in response to applied forces).

Mud is a mixture of water and some combination of soil, silt, and clay. Ancient mud deposits harden over geological time to form sedimentary rock such as shale or mudstone (generally called lutites). When geological deposits of mud are formed in estuaries the resultant layers are termed bay muds. Mud is closely related to slurry and sediment.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mud is a mixture of water and some combination of soil, silt, and clay. ... Mud is closely related to slurry and sediment. Sand is a naturally occurring granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles.
