The result is called a lahar, a heavy, viscous mudslide that can create even more damage than a simple flood of water. Originally containing water condensed from lava, and meltwater from any existing glaciers on a volcano, a lahar can flow through existing lakes and rivers, scouring their shores and channels and carrying debris from the trees, buildings, and bridges destroyed in its path.
sand makes glass and glass make sand its a reverse psychology :)
If the mud stays dissolved, yes. Some mud can be "suspended" in the water (as a mixture) and can be filtered out. The clear brown color of muddy water is caused by dissolved minerals from the mud.
The reason is that the river sand has usually eroded more recently, so has sharper edges. Beach sand is continually rolled and rounded by contact with the other particles, so that more of its particles are smooth. River sand also includes smaller particles (silt, clay) that make it more absorbent.
Denser, more compact, compressed.
mud+sand=clay
Sand is composed of finely granulated rock particles, while mud is a mixture of water and soil, with particles smaller than sand. Sand tends to be more coarse and gritty, while mud is softer and more malleable.

Mud is more likely than sand to fossilize an organism because mud has finer particles that can fill in cavities and preserve details of the organism's structure. In contrast, the looser nature of sand may not provide the same level of protection and support for fossilization.
Yes, sand can turn into mud when mixed with water. Water breaks down the sand particles and creates a mixture that has the properties of mud.
Mud is more compacted than sand because it contains more fine particles like silt and clay, which have a smaller grain size compared to sand. These fine particles have a tendency to pack together more closely, leading to a denser and more compacted material. Additionally, the presence of water in mud can act as a binding agent, further increasing its compaction.

It is all going to depend on what you put in them. The density of the sand, dirt or mud is what is going to determine that. Sand is the lightest you can use. Getting some nice mud or clay is going to cause it wo weigh a little more. Sand is about 10-13lb Mud or clay is aroun 18-20lbs A sand bag weighs (55lbs) 25kg.
