Silt can be deposited in with the landslide by the creek but its not a sign of sinkhole.
Explanation:
- Silt may occur as a soil that may be mixed with clay and sand and can be mixed with a suspension with water. This silt may exist as a soil deposit at the bottom of the water body like a mid-flow or a landslide.
- A sinkhole is a depression that is formed by the collapse of the above surface layer and is caused by the karst processes, the deposits of the silt are compressed and the grains get deposited and form siltstone the silt then is carried by the rocks and eroded by the water and ice to form new silt.
