Size >300 mm - boulder.
Size ranges b/w 80 - 300 mm- cobbles.
Size ranges b/w 4.75 - 80 mm- gravel.
Size ranges b/w 75 micron - 4.75 mm - sand.
Size ranges b/w 0.002mm - 0.075mm - silt.
Size < 0.002 mm - clay soil.
Size ranges b/w 80 - 300 mm- cobbles.
Size ranges b/w 4.75 - 80 mm- gravel.
Size ranges b/w 75 micron - 4.75 mm - sand.
Size ranges b/w 0.002mm - 0.075mm - silt.
Size < 0.002 mm - clay soil.
