Sediment grading

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008759

The classification of sediment particles based on their size distribution, ranging from fine clays to coarse gravels. This characteristic influences how sediment is transported by wind or water and how it settles. Common grading scales include the Wentworth scale, which categorizes particles into specific diameter ranges.
