Aaron Anderson

Sediments are classified based on their particle size into four main categories: gravel, sand, silt, and clay. This classification system is known as the Wentworth scale. Gravel has the largest particles, followed by sand, silt, and clay with the smallest particles. Additionally, sediments may be further categorized based on their origin as either clastic (derived from the breakdown of rocks) or chemical/biochemical (formed through chemical processes or the activity of organisms).
